Dear Hugh
Is it possible to port then virt-manager from FC7 to RHEL 5?
Yours

Well, you would have to port libvirt, python-virtinst, and virt-manager.
We wouldn't support it on RHEL5, but it *might* work.
Take care,

Dear Red Hatters
I successfully created a new virtual machine using the virtual manager,
and it rebooted at the end of the process, but it never shows up
in virt-manager. If I try to open it from the file,("restore saved
machine") it says:
"Error restoring domain /rhinst/vm1". Is the domain already running"
How do I change the Domain for the machine whose file name is at
/rhinst/vm1 ??
virt-manager/libvirt in RHEL5 (and currently in FC6) does not have
Inactive Domain Support -- this mean it doesn't know how to tell you
about the existence or state of an inactive domain (like the one you
just created). The only way to take the domain you just created and make
it active is to execute "xm create <domain-name>" as root from the
command line; this will start your domain and it will then show up in
the virt-manager display.
Note that in Fedora 7 (and soon in FC6) we have added inactive domain
support to libvirt and virt-manager, which means that your domain shows
up in the virt-manager window even though it isn't running. You can then
click on it and start it, or start it from the command line using
libvirt's "virsh" command-line interface.
Hope this helps,
