Hi. I need to get ability to download backups of kvm virtual machines (raw images) to end users. Virtualbox users can import ovs images, that i can create, but in case of linux and virt-manager - how users can import images and simply run it? I think about newbie linux users, that can install virt-manager under ubuntu via graphical package manager and do some easy steps... Can you share me info how can i do needed things ?=)Or may be some admins/users already solve this kind of "problems"...

I can provide single line command for end users... In case of virt-install can i provide xml for domain while import ?

For example i can generate xml with minimal memory/devices needs to be present..
