Other optional dependencies include avahi, xen, audit, glusterfs, -and numactl. +numactl, open-iscsi and libiscsi. As of the 4.5.0 version, you may have to remove any previously installed versions of libvirt before this will build. + +Note also that sometimes, in consequence of a major-version upgrade, +you might discover that the libvirt configuration is in an inconsistent +state (machine networking broken and so on) and when this happens you +might want to consider starting from a clean state. To do this: +- backup the existing vms files and their configurations too (with + "virsh dumpxml $name > ${name}.xml) +- remove libvirt +- delete all the system directories (/var/lib/libvirt, /var/log/libvirt, + /etc/libvirt) +- install the new libvirt package, logout and login again (might help) + and start the daemon +- recreate your configurations (network and so on) +- reimport the vms xml backups (with "virsh define ${name}.xml") |
