There are two types of guest - Persistent: This has a config file on disk. It will appear either in the ListDefinedDomains or ListDomains, depending on whether it is currently running - Transient: This has *no* config on disk. It will only appear in ListDomains and will disappear completely when it is shutdown. Every inactive domain is thus a persistent domain. A running domain can be either transient or persistent. There is a virDomainIsPersistent() API to distinguish them. Daniel
