As a completely separate aside to this, in the new version of libvirt (either CVS or 0.4.5 whenever that is released) you will be able to do: virsh edit <domain|ID|UUID> virsh net-edit <network> virsh pool-edit <storage> These do the dumpxml/edit/define sequence of operations, and have sensible behaviour in the case of failure.
