With f21 and earlier, I could just call virt-install to create VMs, and they would persist after reboot. After upgrading to f22, when I shut off a VM, it is removed, and has to be recreated. How can I get VMs to persist? Is there a virsh create or virt-install switch to do this?

Have you tried: virsh define <xml definition file> I thought it odd too that virsh create <xml defintion file> only created a temp instance. But the first command did what I needed with persistence.

Is there a virsh create or virt-install > switch to do this? Sounds like a virt-install bug to me. Consider posting it to virt-tools-list(a)redhat.com <mailto:virt-tools-list@redhat.com>. Or maybe Pavel [CC'ed] has some thoughts on this.
