The definition XML used by libvirt to create VM. It is usually located at /etc/libvirt/qemu/$vm_name.xml
Actually, I never used virt-install. Instead virt-manager is used to generate a definition XML, then I manually modify the domain type from qemu to KVM.
However, this is a inconvenient workaround.
