xl cpupool-create at the moment requires a config file.  Make
sure to include the example config file in the install.
Good point. Btw: When I did some experiments with cpupools, I couldn't create the cpupool config file on the fly and pipe it to the xl cpupool-create command, as it: a) explicitly checks for a regular file to be named (and doesn't handle '-' or can cope with /dev/stdin) b) stats the file to learn the file size (requiring this to be a seekable file, that's why check a)

These are restrictions which apply to guest config files, too, as they use the same functionality. Is this just a limit in the implementation or is the requirement for a regular on-disk file there for a reason? I could easily create a patch to do away with these restrictions (after the release), are there any arguments against this?

Regards,
Andre.
