How do I get domains to automatically start up at boot time (or when xend start) and shutdown when xend is killed? There used to be a xendomains script which I never tried but it appears to be gone now, and there is a /etc/xen/auto folder, but that doesn''t seem to do anything either. any ideas? thanks James

There used to be a xendomains script which I never tried but it appears to be gone now, and there is a /etc/xen/auto folder, but that doesn''t seem to do anything either.I''m not sure what the intended use of ''auto'' is, but it would seem to make sense to have xend check that all the VM configs specified in /etc/xen/auto are running whenever it starts. Of course, these configs would have to not have any input parameters (e.g. vmid). I think I''d prefer to add another level of directory hierachy below /etc/xen to separate the domain configs from the other config files and scripts, perhaps an /etc/xen/xmconfigs I''m then inclined to change the default config name from /etc/xen/xmdefaults to /etc/xen/xmconfigs/defconfig since ''defaults'' no longer really makes sense for the way 99% of people use ''xm''. Rather than shipping a defconfig in the repo (which always needs tailoring), we''ll supply an example1 and example2. The former will be a very simple config without any input variables, and the 2nd will show a more complex example. Any objections? BTW: For those of you that have been following the Linux 2.6.7 port, it''s actually quite stable now as both a dom0 and unprivileged kernel -- I''ve been running LTP (Linux Test Project) and a bunch of other tests for sometime now without problems. There are a number of optimizations we need to turn on, but performance isn''t too bad. Expect 2.0-rc1 RSN...

what''s involved in building 2.6? From the looks of the makefile, ''make world'' followed by ''make linux26'' then ''make install'' should do it.

> what''s involved in building 2.6? From the looks of the makefile, ''make world'' followed by ''make linux26'' then ''make install'' should do it. Does that sound right?Yep, that should work. We haven''t added it to ''make world'' yet as it''s still in testing. We''ve been holding off releasing 2.0 until we''re totally happy with it. I know of at least one remaining bug whereby in systems with complex PCI bus layouts it may miss some devices. I haven''t seen any crashes since a crucial fix went in yesterday.

Re: [Xen-devel] auto startup and shutdown of domains
The xendomains script did indeed to auto startup and shutdown but in a slightly hacky way because we didn''t have a centralised domain controller now. The proper thing is probably for Xend to help in dealing with this. It''d be a nice feature to have... The /etc/xen/auto folder is probably there as a hangover from the days when xendomains did work. It probably doesn''t have any significance at the moment. HTH, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
