[Xen-devel] Out of memory during Domain creation
Is there any way to detect that Xen is out of memory when it creates a domain? I just spent quick a bit of time rebooting Xen to try to figure out what I was doing wrong, and, in the end, it was an out-of-memory error. I''d love to hack the xc_dom_create.py to report this error more explicitly if there is a mechanism for this.

The dom0_op returns ENOMEM, but somewhere along the line this error code is getting dropped. We should probably hack the python-C interface to generate an exception rather than return an error code.
