Christophe, My VMs are managed with libvirt and the update-device switch works fine. I was just curious if there was a shorter command, something like "virsh change-display-pass $VM $NEWPASS" Thanks for the input. <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 4, 2012 at 10:39 AM, Christophe Fergeau <<a href="mailto:cfergeau@redhat.com">cfergeau@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <div class="im">On Tue, Apr 03, 2012 at 01:27:47PM -0400, Anthony James wrote: > Hello All, > > Is using "virsh update-device" the only way to change a running VM's SPICE > password? </div>It depends on your setup :) If you are not using libvirt to manage your VMs, this can be done using qemu monitor interface. But if you are using libvirt, this is probably the recommanded way of doing it (?). Is it causing any issues/what are you trying to achieve? Christophe </blockquote></div>
