To dump XML use
virsh dumpxml [id|name|uuid] > [xmlfile]
To reload it then use
virsh define [xmlfile]
Ok. That part I knew already. But does libvirt not also allow to convert
the created xml configuration file to a XM configuration file? I.e. the
type of config file that was traditionally used? At least in that I
could define the pci delegation and start a virtual machine from it...
I would just like to sort of "export" my current configuration from
virt-manager.
Its not going to help much I'm afraid since we don't support
PCI device
delegation currently.
Thanks. Maybe I can get around it by simply not exporting back to xml
but working with the xm config file.
