I use the following approach, maybe it'll help you:
in '~/.config/libvirt/libvirt.conf' I have the address I use the most
from my user set as default:
uri_default = "qemu:///system"
and some aliases for other connections:
uri_aliases = [
'mg1=qemu+ssh://mg-host1/system',
'mg2=qemu+ssh://mg-host1/system',
...
Well, you get the idea. And for example instead of using 'virsh -c
lxc:///' all the time for lxc containers, I have an alias in
'~/.bashrc' or '~/.zshrc':
vlxc='virsh -c lxc:///'
This makes your life way easier and that sort of thing can be used for
virt-xml too ;-)
Hope this helps,
Martin
P.S.: In order to satisfy one friend of mine I have to mention that
creating a function instead of an alias should be way faster to use in
bash (the following example is not tested and typed by hand only):
vlxc() { virsh -c lxc:/// "$@"; }
