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.[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

Examples

virsh domblklist MY_DOMAIN_NAME
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME 
error: command 'blockcommit' requires <path> option
virsh blockcommit MY_DOMAIN_NAME [hdc|vda|xxx] --active
