May 24, 20197 yr I was trying to setup virt-manager following space invaders setup guide. I got to the part when you navigate to /etc/libvirt/ and change the ip to 0.0.0.0. I did that, saved and restarted and now my VM's wont start and libvirt wont start either. I tried to copy the libvirt- folder to libvirt, then rebooted and the directory is empty again. Any suggestions?

May 24, 20197 yr Author Video guide *** How to connect virt-manager to unRAID to help manage your VMs ** - VM Engine (KVM) - Unraid Yes , i figured the same thing. Is there a way to restore my /etc/libvirt folder? If not, what is the resolution?
May 24, 20197 yr That's the mount point for the libvirt.img file. You can delete it and then recreate it, but you'd lose any of the VM xml's that are stored within there.
May 24, 20197 yr Author I went to Settings > VM > Delete Image > confirm Then i started VM but am still seeing the same issue. Am i missing something?
May 24, 20197 yr Author I am able to restart and add VM's, but my /etc/libvirt folder is still empty. Is there a way to recreate the default data that was in this folder?
May 24, 20197 yr Once you disable VMs, delete the image, then re-enable VMs, it gets recreated. But, as I mentioned you will lose any existing VM xml's that were present already if you do that.

Is there a way to recreate the default data that was in this folder? There is no default data there! if you deleted it then you lost any existing VM definitions. You would need to recreate these manually' although when doing so your vdisk images will still be present for you to use while doing so. Having said that if you have the CA Backup/Restore plugin installed and configured to make a backup of your libvirt.img then it is possible you can get what you need from there.
