Have you tried one of these?

  lookupByID(self, id)
      Try to find a domain based on the hypervisor ID number
      Note that this won't work for inactive domains which have
      an ID of -1,
      in that case a lookup based on the Name or UUId need to be
      done instead.
  
  lookupByName(self, name)
      Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on
      its name.
  
  lookupByUUID(self, uuid)
      Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on
      its UUID.
  
  lookupByUUIDString(self, uuidstr)
      Try to lookup a domain on the given hypervisor based on
      its UUID.
