[et-mgmt-tools] New happy user / Differences between virsh and virt-manager

[Josir Gomes]

Hi folks,

I am new on this virtualization business and I need some tips from you.

I've already acomplished to install and run a Ubuntu 0.4 guest under a 
Ubuntu 8.04 Host (both 64bits) using the above tutorials:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/libvirt.html

I can ssh from other machines in the vm and I managed to add new drives 
too using only virt-manager.
Everything works fine and the vm is running very well.
As I expected the qemu/kvm performance is far better than vmware.

My problem: when I try to monitor my vms using the virsh prompt

virsh --connect qemu:///system
>>list

I got no vm status. virsh isn't only another way to look at the vm info ?
Or am I having a concept misunderstanding ?

Where can I find more info on this and learn how to clone vms?

I tried wiki (http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/Main_Page) but I 
couldn't get any info.

Thanks in advance,
Josir Gomes
