Re: [Xen-users] virsh/libvirt to Xen 4 XL problem

["brandon" <brandon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.   I got it working after by switching back to XM 
toolstack.  My reason for working on this is I was investigating using virt-v2v 
tool to migrate some Xen guests to KVM but, I found that my situation is 
greatly complicated for migration due to the fact that we use SolusVM manager 
and don't use default storage configurations the virt-v2v tool looks for. 

Appreciate you time.  Have a nice weekend.

There was a period of time where although xl and libvirt could (mostly
peacefully) coexist they weren't mutually aware of the domains which the other 
had created. It's possible that the versions of things you've got fall into 
that bracket.

If you use virsh to start a domain does it appear in virsh list?

The other thing to check is that there is no vestiges of xend (pre-xl
toolstack) on the system -- in particular that the xend daemon isn't running.

BTW, virsh list excludes dom0 whereas xl list includes it, not sure if that was 
something which was a concern.

Ian.
