Thank you for your help!
1, i used vda as install disk and vdb as target disk, because i boot from the
first. After setup boot order flag i was able change install disk to vdb and
target disk to vda. With this configuration when i boot from vdb i can install
OS with grub and after it redefine XML without vdb without problem. Thanks a
lot.
2, maybe i have something wrong, but still not working:
Now in libvirt log i got error: device not found: no target device vdb
but:
from VPS:
root@debian:~# ls /dev/vd*
/dev/vda /dev/vda1 /dev/vdb /dev/vdb1
from XML (virsh dumpxml):
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/users/debian-test2.img'/>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
<source file='/users/debian-test2-install.img'/>
<backingStore/>
<target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
<boot order='1'/>
<alias name='virtio-disk1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00'
function='0x0'/>
</disk>
and from libvirt_domain_get_disk_devices($domain):
Array ( [0] => vda [1] => vdb [num] => 2 )
As you see, there is vdb device in all cases.
PHP code is very simple:
$server = libvirt_connect("qemu+tls://".$ip.“:“.$port."/system", false);
$domain = libvirt_domain_lookup_by_name($server, "debian-test2");
libvirt_domain_disk_remove($domain,"vdb");
print_r(libvirt_get_last_error());
