I''ve recently upgraded SLES to use LibXenLight and have noticed that my virtual machines no longer restart when "xl restart X" or the reboot commands are used within the VM. Instead the machine seems to get destroyed. The configs for the VMs have not changed since well before the update. Here is what one looks like: name = ''vm1'' maxmem =1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 2 builder = ''linux'' on_crash = ''restart'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_poweroff = ''destroy'' vif = [ ''bridge=br99'' ] disk = [ ''tap2:aio:raw:/vms/vm1.img,xvda,w'' ] bootloader = ''pygrub'' I''ve found documentation for libxenlight to be sparse as it is. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
For whatever reason the interesting part of my config did not make it into my post to the list. Hopefully this will get through: on_crash = ''restart'' on_reboot = ''restart'' on_poweroff = ''destroy'' As you can see there is not much to be said about this, unless I am completely missing something - in which case a kick in the right direction towards some documentation would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly were you looking for that you were unable to find? (and where did you look so we can improve the signposting). Note that libxenlight is a library used to build toolstacks, it is not itself a toolstack. You appear to be using the "xl" toolstack, searching for info on that rather than libxkl might help your google-fu. http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs_against_Xen has some pointers to log files which you might want to investigate too.

Thanks Ian. Looks like my message got mangled again. What I was trying to paste was the on-crash, on-reboot, and on-destory lines that say restart, restart, and destroy respectively. I know there are underscores in those parameters, but I typed hyphens here in case that''s causing my posts go show up without that info. Thank you for the suggestions on the documentation. If someone doesn''t show up with a solution I will see about getting a full bug report going.
