Does 'virsh list --all' show anything?  If so, you have hit a state
where your guests are not running, but still defined, and 'virsh start
$dom' will restart the given domain.  Normally, the 'libvirt-guests'
systemd service will arrange to automatically restart a guest where it
left off just before the host power-cycled, but that can fall apart when
libvirtd itself has problems restarting.
