Virt-manager gets information about active and inactive guests by
querying libvirt for them. libvirt then turns around and asks xend,
or whatever hypervisor you are using, for the information and returns
it. for You can do the same thing from the command line with "virsh
dumpxml <guest>".

What is the new "Xen way" of creating VMs? That is, without using
virt-manager, how do they recommend users do things? Their user
manual is still stuck at version 3.0.

Hi.
Well, if you don't want to do "virsh define <domain.xml>" to define a
guest, you can now do much the same thing with xm. "xm help" seems to
be the best documentation for the 3.1 features.

I'm not sure what prompted the question, but if you're looking for a
good command line way of creating virtual machines, for paravirt, koan
does this.
See http://cobbler.et.redhat.com
There's also virt-install, which also works
Neither of those do parameter tweaking for post-install changes, so
using virsh there is the way to go.
