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:

--active to trigger a two-phase active commit
--pivot making base the new active image and invalidating top
--wait
--verbose
path, 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.
