I've no idea what a '.hvm' file is. In RHEL-5, virt-manager provides access
to inactive guests defined in /etc/xen. The file names in that directory
are required to match the name of the guest - ie if your guest is called
'demo', the file must be /etc/xen/demo. Any other filename is unsupported.
Do not add file extensions. Do not add other non-guest config files in
that directory
