Make sure you're telling virsh to connect to QEMU instead of Xen. There
are two possible connections you can make. One is the system wide instance
called qemu:///system - this allows root fully access, and users readonly
access. For this use

   virsh --connect qemu:///system  list

Or if you're not root

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


Alternatively if you don't have root access, there is a per-user instance
but you won't get access to any kernel accceleration

  virsh --connect qemu:///session list

You can also set

  export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=qemu:///system

If you don't want to type --connect URI  every time 

If you were using virt-manager the title bar will tell you which it connected
to. Normally it will be the system instance if you allowed it to run in
privileged mode
