Starting a VirtualDomain resource deletes the libvirt XML file for the VM in RHEL 6 or 7 with pacemaker

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Whenever I start a newly created VirtualDomain resource, the XML file in /etc/libvirt/qemu disappears
  • I'm trying to test a VirtualDomain with debug-start, and the XML file seems to get deleted and the operation fails:
# pcs resource debug-start vm1
Operation start for vm1 (ocf:heartbeat:VirtualDomain) returned 1
 >  stderr: DEBUG: Virtual domain vm1 is not running: shut off
 >  stderr: error: Failed to open file '/etc/libvirt/qemu/vm1.xml': No such file or directory
 >  stderr: ERROR: Failed to start virtual domain vm1.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or 7 with the High Availability Add On
  • pacemaker
  • One or more VirtualDomain resources
    • The VirtualDomain config attribute points to the XML file stored in /etc/libvirt/qemu/
