Hi,
well, you are not using the libvirt api to create the vm :) You need to use something like "virt-install" and then start the vm via "virsh start".
Afaik "virsh list" only shows machines which are using libvirt.
Yes & no. This depends on driver being used. There are several drivers that doesn't need to connect to the libvirt daemon. Virsh is then used to communicate with hypervisor directly - e.g. xenapi does this. And it is hypervisor who keeps track of domains. That means, if one would somehow create a domain behind libvirt back, virsh list would show it anyway. NB this is not recommended. However, qemu is not such hypervisor therefore your answer is correct. I just wanted to clarify :) Michal
