Xen does not have XML file. Is this right ?Yes I'm not sure that in general you can always hope to reconstruct thecontent of the configuration file just from a pointer to a running instance,
OK, so the problem is two-fold then:(1) libvirt virDomainGetXMLDesc should, if possible, return all the fields from the original XML that was passed in virDomainDefineXML.
(2) If we just have a running instance, then perhaps not everything can be retrieved, but virDomainGetXMLDesc ought to retrieve as much as possible -- someone should file bugs for fields that they would like out which could be available.
