Hi all, this is a non comprehensive list of missing features in libxenlight and\or xl: - xen_platform_pci flag support in VM config files; - relative paths support in VM config files; - hap support in VM config files; - -c option to xl create; - remus; - trigger command; - tmem-* commands; - sched-* commands; - usb-* commands; - scsi-* commands. In general if you execute "xm help" and "xl help" any command presents in the former but not in the latter is a missing feature. Few items are known to be "work in progress": - network-* commands; - network2-* commands; - block-* commands; Feel free to pick the missing command of you choice and write a simple implementation for it :) Cheers, Stefano _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

RE: [Xen-devel] libxenlight and xl: missing features
As I have not yet found the time to add the tmem-* commands to xl, and since others are actively reimplementing all of the xm commands, I would be grateful if someone would add in the tmem commands to xl as well. If there are any difficulties or questions, I would be happy to help.

It may take some time for us to accomplish those tmem-* commands and may ask for your help when met difficulties.> > Thanks in advance, > Dan > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Stefano Stabellini [mailto:stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com] >> Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 5:06 AM >> To: Dan Magenheimer >> Cc: Stefano Stabellini; xen-devel@lists.xensource.com >> Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] libxenlight and xl: missing features >> >> On Thu, 22 Apr 2010, Dan Magenheimer wrote: >>> I''ll try to do the tmem-* commands after Xen Summit. >> >> Thanks, that would be appreciated :) >> > >-- Regards Yang Hongyang _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
