Subject: Re: [Xen-users] How to make a P2V domU be recognized by Xend
  
    
  
  
    Hi,
    What config file format do you have? A xml file, the native xen
    config file (just a check of python code) or the config.sxp format?
    
    You'll need to get xend to recognise the config file first, and to
    do that you'll need to import it. virsh has a number of tools to
    help with that - if you have a python config, you can do a 
    
virsh domxml-from-native config.file > config.xml && virsh define config.xml
    If you have the config.sxp format, I'm afraid I've got no clue
      how to help you - From what I understand it's a copy of the stuff
      in xenstore, so I'm not sure if you can simply create a folder
      with the domU's uuid and move the config file there and expect it
      to work. You could try creating a native xen config file from the
      examples in /etc/xen, and just specify the disk image to use, then
      just do a xm start config.file
    
    Hope that helped..

        Hi Guys,
        
        I have Debian 6 + Xen 4.1.1 and created a DomU with virt-manager
        after creation:
        
        laptopvm:~# xm list
        Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs     
        State   Time(s)
        Domain-0                                   0    1024    
        1          r-----    729.1
        centos-4                                            512    
        1                         0.0
        laptopvm:~# 
        
        Its config file is in:
        /var/lib/xend/domains/c0e57693-78a5-0a0b-89b6-93034535ab5a/config.sxp
        
        
        Then I did a P2V of another OS and I have the *.img file and the
        config file but I
        can't get Xen recognize it as another domU.
        
        How can I make Xen/Xend do that as well as generate the UUIDs
        for the domU's devices in its config.sxp file ?
        Any useful commands?
        
        Regards,
        Tony.
