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

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 Fujitsu Asia Pte.
