I have been trying to get xen and kvm up and running, and have

-boot c
-net nic,macaddr=52:64:60:12:34:78,vlan0
-net tap,vlan0

I would like to start using the virt-* tools directly. Is there a way
for me to import this information into virt manager? Both the wizard and
virt-install assume I am starting with the bare install.
At this time there's no official easy way to do it.
If you have pre-installed disk images either, manually write XML config
to go wit hit and use 'virsh define foo.xml'. Or run 'virt-install' pointing
it to your existing disk, and let it boot up into the installer. Then just
use 'virsh destroy' to shutdown the installer. The installer won't have
done any damage to your disks at that point, but virt-install will have
written out a permanent config file which yuo can now use with 'virsh start'.
I plan to add a '--import' flag to virt-install to make this a little more
pleasant where it'd just check your disk image for a valid boot sector and
if so write out the config & skip the booting of installer altogether.

Dan.
