What if you cannot run the VM, so its not running on any specific host. But you want the XML to identify the <disk> information.


Thank you.

You can run `virsh -r dumpxml <vm name> `  on the relevant host

oVirt doesn't store the domain xml internally.
The domain xml is generated only when trying to start the vm (that's the output you've seen in engine.log).
I'm afraid there is no other trigger to force generating that xml at the moment. 
But the generation of the xml is mostly 1:1 mapping of some configuration that is stored differently in oVirt and can be found via the ui/rest-api. What do you look for exactly?
 


Thank you.
