Kvm Made With Libvirt Not Persisting After Host Restart

I currently am making a ubuntu KVM with libvirt using the following code import libvirt conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system') pool_name = 'VMPOOL' name = 'ubuntu0' pools = conn.l

Solution 1:

Let's start with... createLinux() is deprecated; you should be using createXML() instead. It takes identical arguments.

But, createXML() only creates and starts transient VMs. To make a persistent VM, you need to call defineXML() instead. This creates a persistent VM, but does not start it. You can start it yourself when ready with create().
