Hi Frank,

"In theory" the dumpxml should do that.  ie.:

   # virsh dumpxml F11test
   <domain type='kvm'>
     <name>F11test</name>
     <uuid>cb3878e2-a1fc-c035-e57c-087e11abcbfe</uuid>
     <memory>1048576</memory>
     <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>
     <vcpu>2</vcpu>
     <os>
       <type arch='x86_64' machine='rhel6.0.0'>hvm</type>
       <boot dev='hd'/>
     </os>
(...)
       <memballoon model='virtio'>
         <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' 
function='0x0'/>
       </memballoon>
     </devices>
   </domain>

However, it sounds like that's not working for you.

That could be a bug. Would you be ok with trying it again, then pasting 
the error message here for us to see?

Regards and best wishes,
