I know it is a very simple question, but at the same time, if you don’t know the answer, it is not simple to you. That made me blog this information here.
In Fedora/RHEL, the guest configuration files are located under “/etc/libvirt/qemu” directory in the ‘name’ of the guest created in KVM.
[terminal]
[root@humbles-lap qemu]# pwd
/etc/libvirt/qemu
[root@humbles-lap qemu]# ls
networks rhel5.4-x86_64-kvm_backup.xml rhel5.4-x86_64-kvm.xml RHEL-5.xml rhevh.xml Window-2008.xml
[root@humbles-lap qemu]# cat rhel5.4-x86_64-kvm.xml |head -n 2
<domain type=’kvm’>
<name>rhel5.4-x86_64-kvm</name>
[root@humbles-lap qemu]#
[/terminal]
Above output means, I have guests created in my system with names like `rhevh`, `window-2008`, `rhel5..` etc
