The precise answer depends on which version of systemd you have. In any systemd host though, systemd should ensure all the filesystems are mounted correctly. If you have libvirt >= 1.1.1 and systemd >= 205 then you can use its "slice" and "scope" concepts to setup grouping of VMs. If you have older systemd, then you have to setup groups manually. There's some guidance on setting up groups here http://libvirt.org/cgroups.html If you have systemd >= 205 then you can ignore cgconfig.conf entirely. For earlier version, you can use cgconfig.conf to setup the groups only.
