like to port it to another machine. I copied /var/lib/libvirt to the
other machine, but the VM doesn't show up in the list of VMs in
virt-manager.
I must be missing something, but I'm not sure what. Does anyone know?
Is there something that needs to be set?
The copy of /var/lib/libvirt is on a removable USB drive, and I
symlinked the directory on the target machine to the directory on the
disk. Do I need to do something more?
TIA.
You will also need the xml file that defines the VM from:
/etc/libvirt/qemu/<VMname.xml>
You could also set up permissions between the two systems and 'virsh
migrate' the VM over as well.
Good luck!
