[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [RFC] Domain name issue

[Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When we tested xm commands, we found a issue about a domain name.
The domain name can use character '-'. However, when character '-' 
was used for the top of the domain name character string, the 
following issue was found. 

# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
-domUtemp                          1      512     1 r-----    43.2
Domain-0                           0      492     1 r-----   199.2
# xm list -domUtemp
Error: option -d not recognized

Some xm commands mistook such the domain name for a option. 
We suggest the following patch. The patch changes XendDomainInfo.py 
not to be able to use character '-' for the top of the domain name 
character string. 
Because we are not well informed about python, if there is a good 
idea to solve the issue, please give us idea.
