Why do you need shared copies of the xml?I've got a
shared GFS2 file system for the VM image files, using rmganager to
manage the VMs and have the xml defined statically in the libvirtd
instances on the cluster members. If/when I change something in terms of
the VM definition on one cluster member, I "# virsh dumpxml  > ./vm.xml"
and "# virsh define" it on the other members. Same UUID for the VMs on
all cluster members.
