virsh is an abstraction layer for virtualization in general to create any type of virtual machine not just xen based virtual machines and the recommended way of doing virtualization in Redhat. > - Can I "mix" different methods? Can I edit by hand xm /etc/xen/<domain> > files and retrieve XML config by virsh? You can but probably for your own sanity it would be best to stick to one. You can indeed create a domain with xm and then extract the config using virsh in xml format. > - Can I disable/remove virsh/libvirt? Any reason why you want to do this? As said above it is probably the library that you want to use > > Thanks for any help, even pointers to good documentation I share your pain in terms of conceptual documenation for virtualization and how it's supposed to be used not used. I have template xml files which I will gladly pass on together with one or two supportive notes if you are interested.
