Configure options for a VirtualDomain resource to control virtual machine behavior.

Hypervisor URI to connect to. You can determine the system’s default URI by running the |

Always forcefully shut down ("destroy") the domain on stop. The default behavior is to resort to a forceful shutdown only after a graceful shutdown attempt has failed. You should set this to |

Use a dedicated migration network. The migration URI is composed by adding this parameter’s value to the end of the node name. If the node name is a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), insert the suffix immediately before the first period (.) in the FQDN. Ensure that this composed host name is locally resolvable and the associated IP address is reachable through the favored network. |

To additionally monitor services within the virtual domain, add this parameter with a list of scripts to monitor. Note: When monitor scripts are used, the |

Path to the snapshot directory where the virtual machine image will be stored. When this parameter is set, the virtual machine’s RAM state will be saved to a file in the snapshot directory when stopped. If on start a state file is present for the domain, the domain will be restored to the same state it was in right before it stopped last. This option is incompatible with the |
In addition to the VirtualDomain resource options, you can configure the allow-migrate metadata option to allow live migration of the resource to another node. When this option is set to true, the resource can be migrated without loss of state. When this option is set to false, which is the default state, the virtual domain will be shut down on the first node and then restarted on the second node when it is moved from one node to the other.
