Hi Doug,
         I am done with building of xen source.Now, I have started looking at source files and identifying changes required for given task.

   As you suggested, I went through virsh command source to get idea how escape sequence char option is implemented. Based on that,I came up with following findings:
To complete this task, Steps will be

  1. Do help related change in libxl/xl_cmdtable.c
  2. Add handling of one more option for command 'xl console' in file xl_cmdimpl.c in method  main_console.  From this method, call is delegated to libxl_console_exec() in libxl.c
  3. libxl_console_exec delegates to execl(), Do some changes in this method.

Question/Doubts:
  •  Where I need to use this escape char?
  •  libxl_console_exec() is called by many methods Will it affect other flows as well?
  • Could not find execl method implementation where it actually prints data
  • Changes for handling escape char are not cleared
Can you please help me on this?
Regards,
-Sabiya

Hi Doug,

I have proceeded on xen installation. I have configured grub to use xen, I could see xl command and tried it's few options.

However, I am getting failure while creating a Debian PV Guest using

xen-create-image --hostname=tutorial-pv-guest \
  --memory=512mb \
  --vcpus=2 \
  --lvm=vg0 \
  --dhcp \
  --pygrub \
  --dist=wheezy

I have attached logs for reference.

 Before this step, I could not setup Linux Bridge Network for Guest networking.
I am using my router for internet connection.
Can this will be problem? Can you please have a look and let me know.
   Now, One more question to make changes for "Xl command" I need to check it's source, I have checked out source from xen repository.
Can you share path of xl and virsh command source, I can start looking at source..
