[libvirt-users] ESX - How to create a new domain

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to create a new domain(create a new
virtual machine) using the ESX driver.

The documentation at http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html says:

To define a new domain the driver converts the domain XML into a VMware VMX
file and uploads it to a datastore known to the ESX server. Because multiple
datastores may be known to an ESX server the driver needs to decide to which
datastores the VMX file should be uploaded. The driver deduces this
information from the path of the source of the first file-based harddisk
listed in the domain XML.

But I can't find a way to do this in virsh. Any ideas?
