Virsh: Different XML with edit than dumpxml. Why?
- by Dave Vogt
I'm trying to fetch the VNC access data from a virtual machine managed by libVirt. However, when I run virsh dumpxml $machine, the vnc passwd is missing:
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes'/>
Checking the same using virsh edit $machine, I see the password is actually there:
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' passwd='asdf'/>
Why is this? Is this intentional (what reason?), or could this be a bug?
