libvirt users - Jun 2012 - A RFE for libvirt

Hi,

I am a libvirt user , there is a requirement about libvirt :
I need a virsh cmd like "#virsh *create-as* --disk --net " to create a
very sample guest
I have not xml file and I think it's a little hard for me to create a
NEW xml for libvirt , so I need a virsh cmd like "vol-create-as " help
me do that.
I know there are a lot of options for creating a guest , I just need
--disk and --net options , others libvirt can set a defaut value .
I just want an easy way to create a guest :>

Wenlong

I personally find it easier to use virt-manager or virt-install or
gnome-boxes to create an initial guest template, then to modify that XML
for any final tweaks before using the guest in earnest.  I'm not sure
how easy it would be to add guest templating directly into libvirt, nor
whether it would be duplicating effort that has already been coded
elsewhere.

Right, but the lack of provisioning is a huge miss. Before to use a
remote tool (libvirt), you must 1/ connect on the remote machine, 2/
create a xml file and 3/ define the domain.

Integrating virt-install & virt-clone would be imho very good start point.
