How to delete a virsh pool without volumegroup?

Question

My virsh version

0.9.12.3

I created a Volume Group Pool via virsh.

virsh pool-define-as vg1 logical --source-name vg --target /dev/vg

Bad thing is, that /dev/vg does not exist, I made a typo.

I tried to delete the pool by

virsh pool-delete vg

which resulted in

error: Failed to delete pool vg1
error: internal error Child process (/sbin/vgremove -f vg) unexpected exit status 5:   Volume group "vg" not found

so how do I remove this misconfigured pool?

Answer 1

One can delete a pool without VolumeGroup like this:

The files are stored in

/etc/libvirt/storage

as XML files. Just delete them.
