Excuse me for a bit of an irrelevant hijack but why is this fuzz about
xenstore or I just missed something? (xm new, xenstore sync, etc)

Xenstore is not necessary for HA managed VMs is it? We need few lines of
config to start, stop, monitor, migrate the VM resources by HA, this is
it. Once the VM is HA managed no traditional management tool should be
used for VMs like xm and virtman or HA gets confused. 

Currently I deleted all my VMs from xenstore, when all shut down virtman
shows nothing. When xm create <> starts a resource virtman will display
the running VM so if you need the GUI graphs, etc you can still have it
but nobody should manage the VM (start/stop, etc) without notifying HA
so monitoring is the only thing it's useful for.

Perhaps that's the basic usage and something just cannot be stored in xm
config files. If so what is it?

Thanks,
Ivan
