Config files (usually on /etc/xen) can use either format. When using
sxp format, you need to add "-F" to "xm create" or "xm new".

When the config file is located there, it means the domain is managed
by xend. That's what would happen if you use "xm new", or use
virt-install on newer xen versions. To change the configuration you
should either:
- use commands that can edit configuration online, like "xm
network-attach" (see "man xm" for details), OR
- shutdown the domU, export it's config file (or copy the config.sxp
somewhere else), delete the domU (xm delete), edit config file, import
the domU (xm new), OR
- shutdown domU, edit config.sxp, restart xend, start domU (not recommended)
