so is there a simple way to move an existing VM disk image from one
location to another that doesn't confuse the VMM?
Not sure what you mean by confuse VMM, but there isn't any way to move
around disk images in virt-manager. If you create a guest with disk at
/foo/disk.img, then move the image to /bar/disk.img, the old libvirt
guest configuration won't know where the disk is anymore.
You can remove the virtual disk from the VM in virt-manager, then add a
new virtual disk pointing to the new path. Or you can use 'virsh edit
vmname' from the command line and change the path.
