Steps to reproduce

• import a Q35 + OVMF domain

  # wget http://dell-per740-36.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com/libvirt-CI-resources/RHEL-9.5-x86_64-latest-ovmf.qcow2 -O /home/images/RHEL95.qcow2
  

  # virt-install --machine=q35 --noreboot --name=rhel95 --cpu host-passthrough --memory=8192 --vcpus=4 --graphics type=vnc,port=5995,listen=0.0.0.0 --boot=uefi --network bridge=switch,model=virtio,mac=52:54:00:00:95:95 --import --noautoconsole --disk path=/home/images/RHEL95.qcow2,bus=virtio,cache=none,format=qcow2,io=threads,size=20 --osinfo detect=on,require=off
  

  # virsh list  --all
   Id   Name     State
  -------------------------
   -    rhel95   shut off
  

• backup the domain xml

  # cp /etc/libvirt/qemu/rhel95.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/backup.xml
  

• undefine the domain

  # virsh undefine rhel95 --nvram 
  Domain 'rhel95' has been undefined
  

  # virsh list  --all
   Id   Name   State
  --------------------
  

• restart the libvirtd deamon or reboot the host

  # systemctl restart libvirtd
  

• check if the domain come back

  # virsh list  --all
   Id   Name     State
  -------------------------
   -    rhel95   shut off
