virsh-pool-list:tldr:51d26

The virsh pool-list --details command is used in the context of managing virtual machine storage pools using the virsh command-line utility in a KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) environment.

When executed, this command will list all the defined storage pools along with their detailed information.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

• virsh: It is a command-line tool used for managing virtualization hosts and their virtual machines. It provides a way to interact with the libvirt API, which is a library responsible for managing various virtualization technologies such as KVM, QEMU, Xen, etc.
• pool-list: It is a subcommand of virsh used for listing the defined storage pools.
• --details: It is an option passed to the pool-list command to display detailed information about the storage pools. This includes information like the name of the pool, the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the pool, the state of the pool (active or inactive), the capacity and allocation of the pool, the path to the pool's directory, and the type of the pool.

Overall, virsh pool-list --details provides a summarized view of the defined storage pools in a KVM environment, allowing users to quickly check the status and details of their storage configurations.
