Comment 2 Vivian Bian 2011-01-25 06:27:35 UTC

tried it with libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6 which is the final version of RHEL6.0.
get the following result:
# virsh managedsave rhel6
error: Failed to save domain rhel6 state
error: Requested operation is not valid: domain is not running

but get the different result with libvirt-0.8.7-3.el6, 
# virsh managedsave rhel6
error: Failed to save domain rhel6 state
error: cannot resolve symlink /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/rhel6.save: No such file or directory

So set the keywords Regression .
