Hi all, I finally made the plunge and updated Xen using the Gitco repo from the stock RHEL Xen 3.1.2 to 3.4.1. I like what I see and am wondering what took me so long :) My tool set needs updating as I am not used to managing a 3.4.1 domUs. but my main question is that on Centos (uses Xen 3.1.2), I was used to seeing the domU config file in /etc/xen/. It looks like xend manages this now and can dump the domU config in an sxp file. How would I import older domUs to this new format? - Brian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

You can too if you wish.Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I''ll use Windows."

And whats more robust in terms of DR, BCP? Having a config file simply alloewed me to copy it and the img file to a safe location. How would having xend managing this allow me that same option? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Use the xm command to create,shutdown etc.. It still respects the /etc/xen/ configs. Not sure there''s any difference in reliability either except that I''ve had better luck not using libvirtd which virsh uses. Some day we''ll all move over to libvirt (right kernel developers?) but for now I continue to manage my xen machines exactly the way I did in the 3.0.4 days. Also if you don''t have anything in /etc/xen I''d double check your installation because I''m using the rpms from gitco and they have example xen configs in /etc/xen/.
