You may want to look at virt-sysprep, part of the libguestfs suite of tools, which can automate a number of these tasks when creating derivative cloned VMs. From the tools perspective, most of your work will be done outside of virsh, in prepping the new disk images and creating new derivative xml, then finally calling into virsh to start the new xml. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
