I wanted to look at xenstore contents from my domU. domU does not have access to all data but the entries related to the domU instance in question are available. I am posting this in case it happens to be useful to someone else. It would be easy to make a xenstore-clients or xen-tools-domU port.
Here is how to get a working "xenstore-ls" command and other xen tools for your FreeBSD domU: Building & installation ----------------------- Prerequisites: gmake, XENHVM or XEN kernel (GENERIC will not work) 1. ftp http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/4.0.1/xen-4.0.1.tar.gz 2. tar xvfz xen-4.0.1.tar.gz 3. cd xen-4.0.1/tools 4. gmake -C include 5. cd misc 6. gmake xen-detect 7. install xen-detect /usr/local/bin 8. cd ../xenstore 9. Build client library and programs: gmake clients 10. Install client library and programs: install libxenstore.so.3.0 /usr/local/lib install xenstore xenstore-control /usr/local/bin cd /usr/local/bin ln xenstore xenstore-chmod ln xenstore xenstore-exists ln xenstore xenstore-list ln xenstore xenstore-ls ln xenstore xenstore-read ln xenstore xenstore-rm ln xenstore xenstore-write Usage ----- 1. Set required environment variable: export XENSTORED_PATH=/dev/xen/xenstore (Alternatively you could patch tools/xenstore/xs_lib.c function xs_domain_dev() before compiling.) 2. Now you can do things such as: xen-detect xenstore-ls device xenstore-ls -f /local/domain/0/backend/vif/11/0 xenstore-read name Best Regards, -- Janne Snabb / EPIPE Communications sn...@epipe.com - http://epipe.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
