Using CentOS 5 with KVM.

I have downloaded this KVM applicance, and when unzipped it is just a .img file. No xml file supplied.

I can start the guest with

 /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda /data/kvm/slash.img -m 512

and it works.

Now I would like to make a config file for the guest.

The problem is when I do

# virsh -c qemu:///system list
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------

#

I don't see the guest as expected.

Does anyone know what is wrong?

We're evaluting KVM for Linux virtualization on a few projects. All is going well so far.
