[one-users] libvirt persisent vs transient domains

[Manikanta Kattamuri]

Assume all this is set and the vm's automatically come up after the servers
get online.
would it not create more problems then solve as you one is not in sync with
all the vm states?.
If there are any monitoring tools configured based on one status, will
report failure.
Starting of the vms through oned will not succeed or cause disk corruption?
