[lxc-users] Using libvirt with containers

[Anjali Kulkarni]

Hi ,

I was trying to make libvirt work with containers, so I created the container with lxc-create and then used the virsh define command to define the container xml file, but it gives me the error shown at the end:

root@/scripts#lxc-create -t ubuntu -n cn-name

root@/scripts# virsh -c lxc:// define cn.xml
error: Failed to define domain from cn.xml
error: operation failed: domain 'cn-name' already exists with uuid 42e4d176-eddb-42a2-95f2-2d6448b787c3

Any idea why?

If I destroy the container created with lxc-create, then virsh -c lxc:// define cn.xml works fine.

However, then no rootfs is created for the container in /var/lib/lxc/cn-name/.

How to get around this problem?


Thanks

Anjali
