[libvirt-users] Checking if the VM has been created

[Preethi Ramesh]

I'm a Libvirt newbie and I'd really appreciate it if someone could answer
my doubts. I'm using Libvirt's Java API.
My doubts:

1.Currently, I'm able to create a VM on Ubuntu 11.04 using Libvirt
functions domainCreateLinux() and domainDefineXML(). Apart fromt the
boolean return status of these operations and running the virsh list
command, is there any way to SSH in (login) to the newly created VMs  and
run applications on them? I tried running virsh console but nothing comes
up. Also I tried fixing the XML file to accommodate the console operation(
link <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1159220>) but that was
unsuccessful too.

2. If yes, how can I get the IP of the VM created?

3. Is there any function to create image files(in any format qcow or qcow2)
using Libvirt API? Right now, I'm using a shell script which creates the
image from it's iso.

Thanks in advance
P Ramesh
