Re: [Xen-users] DomU startup issue

[Steve Spencer <sspencer@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

Ok, this is documented out there, I was just missing it.  I've found my 
answer.  In case anyone else runs into this issue, here is the procedure 
to fix:
* stop the running DomU's
* cp a backup of their config file somewhere, in case you hose the 
config accidentally: cp /var/lib/xend/domains/{hast}/config.sxp 
/root/domUname_backup_config.sxp (or something that works for you)
* using your favorite editor, modify /var/lib/xend/domains/{hash}/config.sxp
* search for the option on_xend_start and change it from (on_xend_start 
ignore) to (on_xend_start start)
* search for the option on_xend_stop (next line, actually) and change it 
from (on_xend_stop ignore) to (on_xend_stop shutdown)
* save your changes
* restart xend

Thanks,
