[Xen-users] Shutting down full virt DomU

[Glen Eustace <geustace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently moved a Win2k3 server from VMware into Xen.  I am a little 
puzzled over a couple of things and would like confirmation of whether 
what I am seeing/doing is correct (expected behaviour) or if not what I 
am doing wrong.
From within the DomU, if I tell windows to shutdown, it does and does 
in virt-manager as 'shutdown' with no dom id.  But it would appear that 
it is really still there.  I can not 'destroy' it as I haven't got an Id 
anymore and if I try to 'create' it, I get an error saying the name 
already exists.  I did manage to start it again from virt-manager by 
just using the 'Right-click RUN' command.
When I shutdown linux DomU's (all PV), the DomU disappears completely 
from the list and I restart with xm create.
Is this expected behavior ? or am I doing something wrong.

What I was trying to do above, was to change the CD device to use a 
different ISO.  I tried xm block-detach but that doesn't seem to work 
without a --force, and then Windows still thinks the drive exists.  The 
drive went away after the restart, as performed above.
I then used xm block-attach and whilst virt-manager shows the device as 
I had hoped, Windows doesn't however.  I tried getting device manager to 
rediscover but that didn't work either.
How does one change CDs with a PV ?
