Hi all,

In the older format using Xen 3.0.3 (domains created via xm), I simply created a sym link from /etc/xen/domU config file to /etc/xen/auto.

I am now using virt-install (Xen 3.4.1) which creates the domU config in /var/lib/xend/domains/UUID_#_of_domU/config.sxp.

So I sym link this to a file in /etc/xen/auto/hostname_of_domU and noticed that no auto starting of the domU happens.

I've looked in both my Xen books and only find that /etc/xen/auto is the place to auto start domUs.

Any ideas on how to auto start gracefully while not writing a script in /etc/rc3.d every time a new domU comes on line?

And why are xm create and virt-install so diff in how they approach domU configs? ÂThis is confusing.

I just updated to 3.4.1 and autostart stopped working. I copied the xen domU file into /etc/xen/auto and it started working again. Xendomains kept complaining that my domU file was not valid. Start there.
