I guess we should probably link to the real documentation:

  https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html

However virt-v2v has its own parser for libvirt XML and only parses a
(very) small subset of these fields.  Generally you only need to take
that template and change a few fields, name, memory size, number of
vCPUs, and make sure there is one <disk> section per disk and one
<interface> section per virtual network adaptor.  That'll cover 99% of
use cases.

Use ‘virt-v2v ... -o null’ to do a test conversion.
