Hi Mike, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/46568/focus=46721 may help you. Fabian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
If you have a reason to prefer not to have /usr/sbin in the path, I
believe you can also run /usr/sbin/xentop instead of /usr/sbin/xm top to get
around that error. I could be wrong on the location of the xentop
executable, but said executable works for me on a machine where xm top does
not. I''m running F8 on that machine and assume that the Xen packages
provided with it are the cause, but I don''t worry about it since, to
the
best of my knowledge, all xm top does is call xentop (and especially since
F8 is now out of maintenance anyway).

Subject: [Xen-users] network usage gathering
I''ve run into a problem gathering usage for my xen virtual systems.
With my
old model I used to gather all network usage via my cisco devices using the
the counters for each port. Each system had it''s own port on the
switch, and
I tracked network usage accordingly. Now that I''m using xen for virtual
systems, and multiple vm''s share the same switch port, i''m not

what my best option is for tracking usage.
I thought I may be able to setup vlans on the switch, and bind each vm to a
different vlan using vconfig... but it seems like there has to be a better
solution than that. Has anyone done anything like this? Any insight would be
greatly appreciated.
