If XML disappears after saving it, this usually indicates that either you
made a mistake and used the wrong XML element or in the wrong place, or
that your libvirt version is too old to support it. You can use the
virt-xml-validate too to verify your XML file against the schema for
your installed version of libvirt, which will report any errrors.
