Just a guess, but try xm new rather than xm create.

I use virsh rather than xm, and this is the difference between virsh create and virsh define -- the latter puts the configuration into persistent storage whereas the former does not. (virsh uses an XML config file though.)

Hi All,

I successfully installed a 32bit W2003 domu using the following config file (as the CD image wasn't persistent between reboots, otherwise I would have used virt-install ;-) ) : 

isk = [ 'file:/images/xvm/w2003/w2003-disk.raw,hdc,w','file:/images/isos/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_cd1.
iso,hda:cdrom,r' ]
memory = 512
name = "w2003"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]





boot='c'
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd=''
serial='null'
usb=1
usbdevice="tablet"

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
     arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
     arch_libdir = 'lib'
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

Trouble is, whenever I reboot or shutdown the domain, or reboot dom0, I lose the config i.e. 'xm list' does not show my domain. I can get the domain back again by running 'xm create [domain config filename]' but that's too much hassle!

Obviously a case of RTFM, if someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction!

Regards,

Simon.
