virsh blockcommit domain path [bandwidth] [--bytes] [base] [--shallow] [top] [--delete] [--keep-relative] [--wait [--async] [--verbose]] [--timeout seconds] [--active] [{--pivot | --keep-overlay}]
Requires at least QEMU 2.1 and libvirt-1.2.9 (2014).[1]
Review your security_driver configuration in /ect/libvirt/qemu.conf. You may need to change it to none to allow virsh blockcommit
security_driver = "none"[2]
Options:
--activeto trigger a two-phase active commit--pivotmaking base the new active image and invalidating top--wait--verbosepath, path specifies fully-qualified path of the disk; it corresponds to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to domain (see also domblklist for listing these names). Bandwidth specifies copying bandwidth limit in MiB/s, although for qemu, it may be non-zero only for an online domain

Examples[edit]
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME [hdc|vda|xxx] --active Active Block Commit started
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME vda --active --pivot Successfully pivoted
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME /path/to/libvirt/MY_DOMAIN_NAME_DISK --active --pivot Successfully pivoted
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME vda --active --pivot Commit aborted
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME vda --active --pivot --wait --verbose Block commit: [ 22 %] Successfully pivoted
Use: virsh domblklist VM_NAME --details to find your block name.
