We install libvirt in a AlmaLinux 9 Kickstart file. The version of

What we'd like to do is to statically define a network in the
kickstart file without having to run `virsh net-define`. In other
words, we had hoped that by installing a <network>.xml file in
/usr/share/libvirt/networks, that that network would be recognized
by libvirt the first time the system is booted. This does not
appear to be the case.
Is there a way to statically define libvirt networks without
needing to run 'virsh net-define'?
You need to install the file in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks instead.
If you want the network to be autostarted, you also need to create a
symlink in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart that points to the
network XML and has a matching name.
