New Options for Guest Cloning

Cole Robinson posted[1] a patch to enable virt-install to "build a guest around an existing disk image, skipping the OS install step."

Cole also posted[2] a patch for virt-clone which allows for cloning from an XML file "rather than require the use of a guest defined on the current connection."

Obtaining Guest IP Address from the Host

Thomas Mackell inquired[1] about a way to obtain the IP address of a guest that was easier than logging into it and running ifconfig. Cole Robinson pointed out Package-x-generic-16.pngvirt-mem[2] which is a collection of utilities for interrogating KVM guests. Tools included are virt-uname, virt-dmesg, virt-ps, and virt-ifconfig.
