Hi Berhard,
could you please try using the syntax like:
virsh domxml-from-native <format> <config>
where <format> is "xen-xm" and config is the path to config file?
Something like running:
virsh domxml-from-native xen-xm vm.cfg
on the machine that's having Xen hypervisor installed and if you have
multiple hypervisors something like:
virsh -c xen:/// domxml-from-native xen-xm vm.cfg
AFAIK, Xend should be running the time you try to do this. This will
create the configuration within the libvirt and if 'virsh list --all'
will be showing the guest, it's perfect and you should be seeing the
guest in the virt-manager.
Also, if you're having some guest you'd like to copy/clone you can do
following:
# virsh dumpxml existingGuest > temp.xml
# vim temp.xml (to edit the paths, UUID, name etc.)
# virsh define temp.xml (when it succeeds you can remove temp.xml if you
want to)
You should be having a new guest based on the config. Also, you may need
to remove /etc/xen/{NAME} from the system but maybe it's not necessary.
Hope this helps,
Michal

Hi,
manually means, I did not use virt-install or the virt-manager to add the XEN
domU to the dom0. I set it up manually (created configuration manually, added
disk images and so on manually, ....).
virsh list --all does show the domU BUT only if I start it manually with xm
create domU. If the domU does not run, it does not appear. Other virtual
manchines (domU) which I created with virt-manager or virt-install do also
appear, if the domU is currently not up (stopped).
Best regards,
Bernhard

Hi,
thanks. But this did not work. I think, this option does only connect to
another dom0 - means, to another xen host system. I want, that virt-manager
does show the domU (the guest) of the local xen installation which I manually
added to this system.
Why do you mean that is manually added to the system? Does `virsh list
--all` show the guest?

Michal

Hi Bernhard,
I'm not the expert but when you start virt-manager you can go to the
File -> Add connection and add the connection there. The connection
should be persistent and just connecting to it should fail when xend is
not running AFAIK.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I am using XEN and the virt-manager (which use libvirt). I have configured the
XEN domU manually within the shell. If I start the domU with xm create config
then the virtual machine appears in the virt-manager. If I stop the XEN it will
disappear. How could I add the XEN to the virt-manager like all the other (with
virt-manager) created domU that I have it listed with the virt-manager and
could start it from GUI?
Best regards,
Bernhard Suttner
