What I would expect is the following APIs to be added: /* define a domain, but does not start it */ virDomainPtr virDomainDefineXML(virConnectPtr conn, const char *xml); /* undefine a domain but does not stop it if running */ int virDomainUndefine(virDomainPtr domain); /* list the defined domains */ int virConnectListDefinedDomains(virConnectPtr conn, const char **names, int maxnames); /* launch a defined domain */ int virDomainCreate(virDomainPtr domain); extensions to the current behaviour: - new state for defined non-running domains showing in virNodeGetInfo - virDomainLookupByName() could return a defined non-running domain - virDomainCreateLinux() would fail if a domain with the same name is already defined - a number of existing APIs would fail on defined but non-running domains. that's it. Now what is fundamentally wrong with that ? You don't have to use it if you don't need it I assume the problem is harder than this.
