Hi.

I'm trying to change network settings for a domain via libvirt (the driver is 
xenapi) with no success.

According to its sources, 'virsh edit' uses virDomainGetXMLDesc(), allows to 
edit the received xml and then use virDomainDefineXML(). In case of xenapi 
driver it leads to a new vm creation (with the same name and edited settings).

Looking through the list of API functions I failed to find a function like 
virDomainUpdateXML() that would change configuration of existing domain.

Could you please suggest a way to do it?

Thanks in advance.
