[et-mgmt-tools] Using libvirt-remote with python-virtinst?

[Michael DeHaan]

Today I tried using a remote connection string within koan.  The idea 
here is to be able to use koan against boxes that have libvirtd 
installed but do not have koan installed.

 guest = 
virtinst.FullVirtGuest(hypervisorURI="qemu+ssh://root@drwily.rdu.redhat.com/system", 
...)

This works fine up until the point where it wants to create the disk.

I heard on #ovirt that there may be some work being done to make the API 
of python-virtinst be smart enough to be able to create remote disks? 

If so, that would be very cool to have, as it would mean we could do 
cobbler-based installs of virtual machines with a minimum of installed 
tooling on the guest.
