[FEATURE REQUEST - KVM] Edit/Save config while running


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

If we were able to edit a VM while the VM is running this would allow us to edit a VM from the VM (new settings applied after next reboot), removing the need to use another computer to do the changes.

 

With the USB/GPU pass-through I think this would be pretty convenient.

 

What do you think?

I like it, will need to give this some thought on implementation.

Great!

 

I just tried something from the command line, while a VM is running :

 

1.

virsh dumpxml [uUID]> dom.xml

nano dom.xml #change memory allocation from 2 to 3GB

virsh define dom.xml

 

2.

reboot from VM > ram allocation updated.

 

 

If "virsh define" is already used when we edit a VM from the webUI then everything may already be implemented?  8)
