You have to disable xend and reboot if dom0 was created using the ''xm'' command. Read that wiki carefully.

Thanks, Peter: There seems to be a step missing. I disabled xend + rebooted but now I''m not able to access any of my DomU''s. e.g., `xm list` and `xm vm-list` do not display any of the DomU''s on the guest. Suggestions?

One other thing: How to configure Xen-without-xend? (If /etc/init.d/xend is disabled, none of the configurations in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp are loaded.)

You could create an alias/symlink if your fingers are resisting the change... Also note that xl does not support the "managed domain" mode of operation, of which I think vm-list is one of the commands. See http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XL#Anti-Features and http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Choice_of_Toolstacks Ian.

If there is something specific you are wanting to configure and can''t find please let us know. Ian.
