I haven't followed this discussion, but the the answer to the general question you ask here is no. The first format is the new xl disk config format, described in $xen-src/docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt and xl.cfg(5). The second format is the old xmdomain.cfg(5) format. But the old format should still be supported. With the exception of embedded python, a Xen community goal was to support existing domain config when moving from xm/xend to xl/libxl. > > > Also, instead of a root-vol spec'n, > > root = '(xen/xvda,msdos1)' > > you appear to use a UUID spec, > > uuid="09e84b64-5b3d-bb48-7fe3-488e7058878d" In this context, uuid is simply domain metadata, similar to name, id, description, etc. Regards, Jim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
