libvirt users - May 2010 - XML-Created domain vanishes after shutdown

Hi,

im migrating existing kvm-images into libvirt domains, by creating a 
domain in virsh from a xml file. The domain starts, is working fine, but 
after shutdown it is lost, and I have to recreate it.

BTW, can I reset the domain count somewhere?

Any ideas?

thx and kind regards
Alexander

   virsh create XML

boots up a transient guest that disappears after shutdown. If you
want it to stay around, the nuse

  virsh define XML
  virsh start GUESTNAME

That's implicitly reset when libvirtd is restarted, to the lowest
ID of any running guest, plus one.
