Re: [Xen-users] virt-install error

[Paras pradhan <pradhanparas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found the solution but not sure why this is happening.

All of my domains are named (in /etc/xen) in format :

host.mydomain.com

I found that one domain has a format host.com . I changed this
filename to host.mydomain.com and my problem went away.

Do we need to follow some specific format for domain configuration file name?

Thanks
Paras.
