list information

# Simple information about domain.
virsh dominfo fedora_20_raid1
# View information about domain.
virsh dumpxml fedora_20_raid1 | less

change value of virtual machine

virsh autostart virtual_machine_name

disk handling

# Detach one of the disks.
virsh detach-disk fedora_20_raid1 vda
# Attach disk
virsh attach-disk fedora_20_raid1 /ssd/libvirt/fedora20_1.qcow2 vda --sourcetype file --subdriver qcow2
virsh attach-disk host /var/lib/libvirt/images/host-#.qcow2 vdb --driver qemu --subdriver qcow2 --targetbus virtio --persistent
# Copy kvm machine.
virsh dumpxml <domain> > domain.xml
vi domain.xml
virsh create domain.xml
# Eject cdrom.
virsh change-media www.halfface.se hda --eject

duplicate move machine

# You cannot "clone" a running vm, stop it.  suspend and destroy
# are also valid options for less graceful cloning
virsh shutdown this.vm

# copy the storage.
cp /var/lib/libvirt/images/{this-vm,that-vm}.img

# dump the xml for the original
virsh dumpxml this-vm > /tmp/that-vm.xml

# hardware addresses need to be removed, libvirt will assign
# new addresses automatically
sed -i /uuid/d /tmp/that-vm.xml
sed -i '/mac address/d' /tmp/that-vm.xml

# and actually rename the vm: (this also updates the storage path)
sed -i 's/this-vm/that-vm/g' /tmp/that-vm.xml

# finally, create the new vm
virsh define /tmp/that-vm.xml
virsh start this-vm
virsh start that-vm
