Hi!

I've Nevada build 77 running on xVM Hypervisor with Nevada as Dom0.

With valued assistance from Moinak Ghosh, I manage to create a properly 
running Windows DomU.

# virsh dumpxml winxp1

# xm list
Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State   
Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0  2948     4     r-----   2694.8

I eventually shutdown my computer and when I re-started it hours later, 
xm list showed no winxp1 DomU!

!!!!!!

Is this normal??

I then re-created the DomU from scratch. And then I noticed something 
else...

Everytime I "shutdown" my Windows DomU I noticed the relevant entry 
disappears from xm list!!!!!

I can get back the previous state by doing

 #xm create -c -f /export/home/admin/iso-images/xp2/winxp2.py

But is this the correct way?

Should it be

#xm start winxp1

Something is wrong here..

I had thought it would be like Solaris Zones....the zone is reflected 
even when shutdown using zoneadm...

Warmest Regards
Steven Sim
