OK, I cannot figure this out. I am trying to find the location of domU configuration information in Fedora 8. I have a pv guest called FedoraPV with an image /var/lib/xen/images/FedoraPV.img. I created the VM with virt-install, so there was no xmconfig file used. I want to copy the image to make a new clone -> FedoraPVclone.img. Where is the configuration file/information for this VM? I looked in /etc/xen but there is nothing that references FedoraPV. I even did a search of the entire file system and did not come up with any hits on FedoraPV other than the img file. So, where is the information for the domain stored? Is it in the XenStore. If so, where is that (I can''t find it either). -- John Krautheim, CISSP, PMP jkrautheim@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi John, there are several ways to see the configuration information for the VM. You can use # virsh dumpxml NAME_OF_VM > /path/to/file.xml to dump the configuration into a XML-file and # virsh define /path/to/file.xml to use a XML-config file. You can also use # xenstore-ls to have a look at the xenstore db. I hope this helps... Best regards, Bjoern "John Krautheim" <jkrautheim@gmail.com> wrote:> OK, I cannot figure this out.

Hi again, and a very nice overview by Mark Williamson about "Now where are my domUs?" can be found in the Xen blog at http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/03/13/now-where-are-my-domus/ Regards, Bjoern "John Krautheim" <jkrautheim@gmail.com> wrote:> OK, I cannot figure this out.
