All,
I''ve got CentOS5.2 running the Xen 3.2 kernel. All of my
DomU''s are
working perfectly. The thing that is not working perfectly, doesn''t
seem to make a lot of sense.
Used the virt-install script to install my DomU''s and so the
configuration files are in /var/lib/xend/domains/{hash}/config.sxp
If I do a chkconfig --list xendomains
it shows that it is on for the appropriate run level and off for the
expected reboot run level.
Issuing the "service stop xendomains" from the command line works as
expected and stops the running domains, saving their state. Issuing the
"service start xendomains" starts the domains, again, as expected.
Issuing a shutdown -r now on the xen server, however, does not appear to
wait for the domains to shutdown and on top of that, once rebooted, does
not start the domains.
I''m getting close to just putting in my own script that issues the
"service xendomains start" from rc.local and issues the "service
xendomains stop" in the kill scripts.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,

To make a DomU automatically start on Dom0 boot I just add a symbolic link from /etc/xen/auto to the appropriate DomU''s config in /etc/xen. Hope this helps, --Amos _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
All,
Ok, this is documented out there, I was just missing it. I''ve found my
answer. In case anyone else runs into this issue, here is the procedure
to fix:
* stop the running DomU''s
* cp a backup of their config file somewhere, in case you hose the
config accidentally: cp /var/lib/xend/domains/{hast}/config.sxp
/root/domUname_backup_config.sxp (or something that works for you)
* using your favorite editor, modify /var/lib/xend/domains/{hash}/config.sxp
* search for the option on_xend_start and change it from (on_xend_start
ignore) to (on_xend_start start)
* search for the option on_xend_stop (next line, actually) and change it
from (on_xend_stop ignore) to (on_xend_stop shutdown)
* save your changes
* restart xend
