hi

I am running xen 3.3 in cenos 5.2. I got th rpms from
http://www.gitco.de/repo/xen3.3.0. Then I used virt-install to install
centos52 guest. All went fine and I can run my guest using : xm start
guestname. But I am not able to find the domain configuration file of
my guest. It should be in /etc/xen/ (?) but this time where does the
virt-install stores the config file.


Thanks
Paras.

Hello Paras,

I asked the same question awhile back. The ugly truth is that it doesn't
create the file any longer. You can view the xml output by using 'virsh
dumpxml <domuName>'.

Hope that helps,

Jon



And how do I change the parameters.. like changing memory, disks etc.


Thanks
Paras.

Use 'virsh'. As root type vish on the command line, this will drop you into
the virsh shell. From there you can do a 'memset <domid> <meminkb>'. Use
'man virsh' to figure out how to use all of the commands.

No Problem,
Jon

For memset and few other options it is file. But there may be lots of
other cases in which the domain config file should be tweaked. As an
example: I need to change

disk phy:/dev/drbd1
to
disk  drbd:myresourcedisk


Thanks
Paras.

So what you would do is dump the domu to a xml file and edit the file then restart the domain.

Like so:

virsh dump fc10 > fc10.xml
vi fc10.xml
edit the disk section in fc10.xml file and restart the domain
