This bit I'm not sure of, but suspect the answer may be in the mailing 
list archives.

Have you tried using the "Search" function in the top right hand corner 
of the libvirt.org website?

It searches the mailing list archives. :)

The libvirt command line utility, virsh, has an "edit" command so you 
can change XML definitions manually.

For example:

   (to make the connection)
   $ virsh -c qemu+ssh://myuser@myserver/system
   Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

   Type:  'help' for help with commands
          'quit' to quit

   virsh # list --all
    Id Name                 State
   ----------------------------------
     1 someguest            running

   virsh # edit someguest

   (vi launches, with the XML loaded for editing)

Does that help?

Regards and best wishes,
