Hello,
I get XEN 4.2 end 4.3 on my Debian (unstable) system. All VMs are
working with the two versions.
I get only a problen : I can''t create a new VM while running 4.3 and
get
a message :
xm new com-web
Using config file "./com-web".
Error: ''NoneType'' object has no attribute
''rfind''
With xen 4.2 and the same configuration file all is OK and the machine
is created :
xm new com-web
Using config file "./com-web".
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 6144 2 r----- 48.3
com-web 640 1 0.0
......
I know that mixing two versions of XEN on the same system is not very
good but I fear to uninstall 4.2 if 4.3 does not work.
Regards
JP P
The config file used (I get the same problem with other config files).

If VMs are running fine, what are you worrying about? I would encourage you to use XL toolstack in 4.3.> With xen 4.2 and the same configuration file all is OK and the machine > is created : > xm new com-web > Using config file "./com-web". > > Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) > Domain-0 0 6144 2 r----- 48.3 > com-web 640 1 0.0 > ...... > > I know that mixing two versions of XEN on the same system is not very > good but I fear to uninstall 4.2 if 4.3 does not work. >It could be the mixture of things that makes 4.3 does not work.

Hello, After some Debian updates and switching to "xl" it is better, I can create new VMs. But I can''t find with xl the command like "xm new". So I have to create the VM and the command "xl --list" show only the running machines, "xm --list" would show all the VMs. This is why I was sticking to "xm".

For some subset of users the "xendomains" script will do the job as well.
