Xen users - Mar 2008 - Wipe Out Xen DB

Hello Xen community. How does one wipe out Xen 3.1 server''s database of
DomUs? I have attempted installation of several DomU guest VMs. Guest
installations have not been successful, so no corresponding file is created
in /etc/xen directory. Yet it has some trace of the attempted installation,
as subsequent runs of virt-install generate "vm01 ERROR:  Domain named vm01
already exists!" error. The disk file for vm01 has also been deleted. Where
else does xend keep track of vm01 other than in /etc/xen config files?

 

Thanks,

Hamid.

Try ''xm destroy domu-name'', followed by ''xm delete
domu-name''. If the
domu-name still appears in ''xm list'', do an ''xm list
-l domu-name'' to get the
domains UUID. Then reboot into a non-xen linux, 
and ''rm -rf /var/lib/xend/domains/UUID''.
