====== KVM - Define a Guest ======

See [[KVM:Undefine a Guest|Undefine a Guest]]

----

Defining a guest allows one to start it from its name, rather than having to find it's XML file and running **virsh create name.xml**.

This means that guests will also show in **virsh list --all** when they are shutdown.

<code bash>
virsh define filename.xml
