Thank you for reporting this issue to the libvirt project. Unfortunately we have been unable to resolve this issue due to insufficient maintainer capacity and it will now be closed. This is not a reflection on the possible validity of the issue, merely the lack of resources to investigate and address it, for which we apologise. If you none the less feel the issue is still important, you may choose to report it again at the new project issue tracker https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues The project also welcomes contribution from anyone who believes they can provide a solution. |
Description of problem: Trying to use virsh net-update to add a domain name $ sudo virsh net-update default add domain "<domain name='test'/>" --live --config error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: can't update 'domain' section of network 'default' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.1.3.5-2.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo virsh net-update default add domain "<domain name='test'/>" --live --config 2. 3. Actual results: error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: can't update 'domain' section of network 'default' Expected results: New virtual machines created with network 'default' should use the specified network domain name 'test' Existing running virtual machines will use the old name before the update Additional info: > is it possible to add a domain using net-update? No, not currently. It would be fairly simple to add support for re-starting the network's dnsmasq instance with the new domain in the commandline arguments, but that wouldn't address the existing guests that have already received the domain name in their DHCP responses - they would continue appending the old domain name to any DNS queries until their DHCP lease expires and they have to renew (assuming that the guest's lease renewal code is intelligent enough to notice that the domain has changed). If the above is acceptable, and you're interesting in adding support for that much of the functionality, the function to change is virNetworkDefUpdateDomain() (higher level functions are already setup to handle restarting dnsmasq). You could follow the examples of other virNetworkDefUpdate*() functions in the same file.
