[virt-tools-list] Add a manually configured XEN

[Bernhard Suttner]

Hi,

manually means, I did not use virt-install or the virt-manager to add the XEN domU to the dom0. I set it up manually (created configuration manually, added disk images and so on manually, ....). 

virsh list --all does show the domU BUT only if I start it manually with xm create domU. If the domU does not run, it does not appear. Other virtual manchines (domU) which I created with virt-manager or virt-install do also appear, if the domU is  currently not up (stopped).

Best regards,
Bernhard

Why do you mean that is manually added to the system? Does `virsh list 
--all` show the guest?

If I start the domU with xm create config then the virtual machine appears in the virt-manager. If I stop the XEN it will disappear. How could I add the XEN to the virt-manager like all the other (with virt-manager) created domU that I have it listed with the virt-manager and could start it from GUI?
