Brilliant answer. This is exactly the feature I need, but my Fedora
11 hosts are at libvirt 0.6.2 and Fedora 13 appears to only be up to
0.7.7. Is it possible (and stable) to upgrade a Fedora 11 or 13 to
libvirt 0.8.0+? Could you please post a link to documentation on
how to upgrade libvirt? Is there a specific 0.8.0 version you would
upgrade to? Thank you.
I vote for F13 update to libvirt 0.8.0 too. :-)
Works well for me on one testing machine.
Another solution is to use F13 + virt-preview repository. This contains
needed libvirt.
