I initially thought the problem I was experiencing was the same as were
discussed in; https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909547 and
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915103. However what I'm
experiencing continues. It first appeared when upgrading my system from
openSuSE 12.3 to openSuSE 13.1. Later upgrading to 13.2 in search of a
solution. What I've tried so far, and what I do to get running managed guest/s
is documented at
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/502307-openSUSE-13-1-gt-13-2-upgrade-issues-with-xen-libvirt-and-virt-manager.

Case 1. If I cleanly install libvirt, and install the hypervisor xen-tools from
yast, then reboot the host, then try to create a guest vm from virt-manager
using vm-install, the install fails.

internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'Webster'

Case 2. If I cleanly install libvirt, install the hypervisor xen-tools from
yast, open virt-manager and create a guest using vm-intall, the process
completes successfully and I have a managed guest. However if I reboot the host
and return to virt-manager the guest is stopped and when I try to start it I
get the following error.

Error starting domain: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain
'Webster'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 91, in
cb_wrapper

    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
