I use virt-install to install my vms as well, but when I used virt-manager (to install) I ran into that other directory path that you mentioned.
To install a para-virt example with virt-install I use something like the following: virt-install --bridge=xenbr0 --name=machinename --ram=1024 --vcpus=1 --file=/dev/vgmachine/lvmachine --paravirt --location=http://1.1.1.1/pathto/ks -x "ks=http://1.1.1.1/config.cfg"; --vnc Below is an example of a Windows VM that I have that is stored in /etc/xen and worked just fine with the symlink method. If youd like a linux example or a para-virt example just let me know. name = "MachineName" uuid = "f771623c-acbe-18df-d3a9-e71246c88f2e" maxmem = 1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 2 builder = "hvm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot = "c" pae = 1 acpi = 1 apic = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncunused = 1 disk = [ "phy:/dev/vgcomp/lvmachine,hda,w", "file:/root/bartpe.iso,hdb:cdrom,r" ] vif = [ "mac=00:00:00:00:00:00,bridge=eth0,type=ioemu" ] serial = "pty" _____ From: Marcel Damásio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 12:21 PM To: David Levinger Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Fedora-xen] Autostart VM on boot Ok, but I used virt-install to create the VMs, so I don't have a config file. Trying this solution I found the config files at /var/lib/xend/domains/, all generated by virt-install automatic. So I created a symlink in /etc/xen/auto, but this didn't work. Any other ideas? Could you send me an example of config file machine that works for testing? I don't know how to create a VM from one.
