LVM
The following snippet lets you do the simple thing of reusing your volume group called vg as a storage pool for virtualization guests.
CODE
virsh pool-destroy default virsh pool-undefine default virsh pool-define-as default logical --target /dev/vg --source-name vg virsh pool-autostart default virsh pool-start default
Networking
The following snippt lets you reuse your already configured bridge as the default network for virtualization tools.
CODE
net-destroy default net-undefine default echo '<network><name>default</name><forward mode="bridge"/><bridge name="br0"/></network>' | virsh net-define /dev/stdin virsh net-autostart default virsh net-start default
Qemu
It looks like the default ownership/permissions for libvirt/qemu paths won't work when using virt-install to install a Fedora guest.
CODE
chown -R qemu:kvm /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
This is how it looked like without...
CODE

Install guest OS using virt-install
Install Fedora 22 Alpha:
root #virt-install --name fedora22a --memory 1024 --graphics spice --disk pool=vg,size=8 --location http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/22_Alpha/Server/x86_64/os/
