Re: [Xen-users] config.sxp pain - auto start?

Hi,

Yes, its the same script and they call the same thing which is diff on each system.

So my conventional Centos 5 system has virt-manager 0.5.3-10 and libvirt 0.3.3-1, found at the Centos repos.

Where as my Gitco-ized Centos 5 system has virt-manager 0.7.0-1 and libvirt 0.7.0-6. These packages were updated using the Gitco 3.4.1 repo so I know they are in the Xensource domain.

I think Xensource fundamentally changed domU config methodology and I can see the advantages of setting startup behavior within a domU config file because sym links are too easy to blow away.

Its too bad the SXP format is like pig latin and looks more like code.

One big problem I see is consistency.
Wether GUI or CLI, in 3.4.1, SXP is the default.

Last time I check virt-install is not part of Xen. It's a separate
project by Redhat.

And I personally have to assume others will need to manage this Xen
infrastructure I've sold management on and have created.

I do it the old-fashioned way : create old-style config files and
symlinks manually :D

So I must conform to the way of SXP unfortunately.
 It does make things more
complicated at first glance.
Just my thoughts.

Ask Redhat to have "on_xend_start/stop" parameter configurable when
creating new guests?
Also ask Xen developers to have a new "xm" command that can change the
value of "on_xend_start/stop" without having to delete - edit -
recreate domU?
