Update: Daniel Berrange adds that using the QEMU monitor essentially voids your libvirt warranty :). In the future I will post more libvirt tips :). I hope this is useful for folks troubleshooting QEMU or KVM. This should be the same virtual disk you defined with the qemu-img command. Use -hda imagefile to tell QEMU to use imagefile as the hard drive image. To emulate a more modern system, use qemu-system-x8664.
Sudo nc -U /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/.monitorĮither way works fine. To emulate a legacy PC system, use qemu-system-i386. Sudo service libvirt-bin stop # or "libvirtd" on Red Hat-based distros
usr/local/DarwinPorts-1.0/bin/qemu -cdrom rh72-1.iso -boot d -monitor stdio QEMU 0.7.0 monitor.

It is sometimes useful to issue QEMU monitor commands to VMs managed by libvirt.
