You're likely to find more knowledge about XenEnterprise on the forums at 
XenSource (http://forums.xensource.com).  You're welcome to ask questions 
about it here, but most people here use the open source version of Xen 
instead and they don't know about XenEnterprise

Fiddling with the config files is a standard thing to do under Open Source Xen 
but I'm not sure it's recommended for XenEnterprise...  If something isn't 
exposed through the managment tools, then I doubt it's officially supported 
so Your Mileage May Vary.

I'm not sure what config file format XenEnterprise uses; it's almost certainly 
different, so I'm not sure how you'd specify this sort of thing to be honest.

Sorry not to be more helpful!

Cheers,
Mark
