How to change QEMU virtual image location?

[dallasclark]

I've got an existing QEMU Virtual Server running on Fedora 11. Having troubles trying to find out how to change the location of where the Virtual Images are stored.

Can anybody provide any help please?

Thanks in advance!

I know my virtual machines are in /var/lib/libvirt/images, I'm using Virtual Machine Manager that is connected to QEMU on the localhost

So basically moving these images within the filesystem is a piece of cake, but how do I get the QEMU server to load images from another location?

Figured it out looking at the manuals for a fair few commands, the following command has worked

virt-install --name=WindowsXPIE6 --ram=512 --file=/media/Filestore/virtual_machines/WindowsXPIE6.img --import

--name is the name (label) of the Virtual Machine
--ram is the amount of RAM in mb
--file is the location of the .img file
--import is to tell QEMU to use an existing disk image
