A few questions:

1/ What distribution ?

2/ Versions of libvirt, qemu  (some versions?

Please note that, libvirt uses QEMU's 'transaction' command under the hood when the guest
is 'live'. So, if you're using an older version of QEMU, it might not have "transaction"
command in it.

3/ Are you using "virsh" independently or are you mangling libvirt commands with oVirt
environment ? (from your initial post, it appears it's an oVirt node).
