Would migration be necessary? As far as I know, libvirt will automaticallyfall back to the current xen driver if xend is running. It will only use xl ifxend is not started. Am I correct to assume that any existing libvirt configuration for xen wouldhave xend started automatically as it is required? Cheers,Xiao-Long Chen
