However, you _can_ teach libvirt about certain guests started directly by qemu; the 'virsh qemu-attach' command can attach to guests that were properly started with a socket monitor. > > For a guest created through libvirt, and it's persistent, > the persistent XML is stored in /etc/libvirt/qemu/, and > the running state XML is in /var/run/libvirt/qemu/, and Note that these files are to be treated as read-only.
