The libvirt toolkit is focused primarily on KVM virtual machines, but it is intended to be usable for multiple virtualization technologies, including the Xen Project Hypervisor. As a result, some commands are essential when using Xen Project software, but others do not apply as they are targeted for KVM concepts.

Some of the essential virsh commands for manipulating Xen Project VMs include:

virsh list
virsh dominfo
virsh dumpxml
virsh start
virsh shutdown
virsh destroy
virsh create
Food complements
Orange Apple
Bread Pie
Butter Ice cream
+VIRSH commands:
help print help
