Hi
Below is what i get while creating a guest domain, please someone help me.

#============================================================================
# Example Python setup script for 'xm create'.
# This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using 'xm create'.
#
# This is a relatively advanced script that uses a parameter, vmid, to control
# the settings. So this script can be used to start a set of domains by
# setting the vmid parameter on the 'xm create'
command line. For example:
#
# xm create vmid=1
# xm create vmid=2
# xm create vmid=3
#
# The vmid is purely a script variable, and has no effect on the the domain
# id assigned to the new domain.
#============================================================================
# Define script variables here.
# xm_vars is defined automatically, use xm_vars.var() to define a variable.
# This function checks that 'vmid' has been given a valid value.
# It is called automatically by 'xm create'.
def vmid_check(var, val):
val = int(val)
if val <= 0:
raise ValueError
return val
# Define the 'vmid' variable so that 'xm create' knows about it.
xm_vars.var('vmid',
use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater than 0.",
check=vmid_check)
# Check the defined variables have valid values..

# so we use the vmid to create a name.

#vcpus = 4 # make your domain a 4-way

# Define network interfaces.
# By default, no network interfaces are configured. You may have one created
# with sensible defaults using an empty vif clause:
#
# vif = [ '' ]
#
# or optionally override backend, bridge, ip, mac, script, type, or vifname:
#
# vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
#
# or more than one interface may be configured:
#
# vif = [ '', 'bridge=xenbr1' ]

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and
# what you want them accessible as.
# Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE
# where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name the domain will see,
# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.
# This makes the disk device depend on the vmid - assuming
# that devices sda7, sda8 etc. exist. The device is exported
# to all domains as sda1.
# All domains get sda6 read-only (to use for /usr, see below).
disk = [ 'phy:sda%d,sda1,w' % (7+vmid),
'phy:sda6,sda6,r' ]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define frame buffer device.
#
# By default, no frame buffer device is configured.
#
# To create one using the SDL backend and sensible defaults:
#
# vfb = [ 'type=sdl' ]
#
# This uses environment variables XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY. You
# can override that:
#
# vfb = [ 'type=sdl,xauthority=/home/bozo/.Xauthority,display=:1' ]
#
# To create one using the VNC backend and sensible defaults:
#
# vfb = [ 'type=vnc' ]
#
# The backend listens on 127.0.0.1 port 5900+N by default, where N is
# the domain ID. You can override both address and N:
#
# vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=127.0.0.1,vncdisplay=%d' % vmid ]
#
# Or you can bind the first unused port above 5900:
#
# vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vnunused=1' ]
#
# You can override the password:
#
# vfb = [
'type=vnc,vncpasswd=MYPASSWD' ]
#
# Empty password disables authentication. Defaults to the vncpasswd
# configured in xend-config.sxp.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define to which TPM instance the user domain should communicate.
# The vtpm entry is of the form 'instance=INSTANCE,backend=DOM'
# where INSTANCE indicates the instance number of the TPM the VM
# should be talking to and DOM provides the domain where the backend
# is located.
# Note that no two virtual machines should try to connect to the same
# TPM instance. The handling of all TPM instances does require
# some management effort in so far that VM configration files (and thus
# a VM) should be associated with a TPM instance throughout the lifetime
# of the VM / VM configuration file. The instance number must be
# greater or equal to 1.
#vtpm = ['instance=%d,backend=0' % (vmid) ]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set the kernel command line for the new domain.
# You only need to define the IP parameters and hostname if the domain's
# IP config doesn't, e.g. in ifcfg-eth0 or via DHCP.
# You can use 'extra' to set the runlevel and custom environment
# variables used by custom rc scripts (e.g. VMID=, usr= ).
# Set if you want dhcp to allocate the IP address.
#dhcp="dhcp"
# Set netmask.
netmask = '255.255.255.0'
# Set default gateway.
gateway = '10.236.107.65'
# Set the hostname.
hostname= "xenclient1"
# Set root device.
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
# Root device for nfs.
#root = "/dev/nfs"
# The nfs server.
#nfs_server = '169.254.1.0'
# Root directory on the nfs server.
#nfs_root = '/full/path/to/root/directory'
# Sets runlevel 4 and the device for /usr.
extra = "4 VMID=%d usr=/dev/sda6" % vmid
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configure the behaviour when a domain exits. There are three 'reasons'
# for a domain to stop: poweroff, reboot, and crash. For each of these you
# may specify:
#
# "destroy", meaning that the domain is cleaned up as normal;
# "restart", meaning that a new domain is started in place of the old
# one;
# "preserve", meaning that no clean-up is done until the domain is
# manually destroyed (using xm destroy, for example); or
#
"rename-restart", meaning that the old domain is not cleaned up, but is
# renamed and a new domain started in its place.
#
# The default is
#
#
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash = 'restart'
#
# For backwards compatibility we also support the deprecated option restart
#
# restart = 'onreboot' means
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash =
'destroy'
#
# restart = 'always' means
# on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash = 'restart'
#
# restart = 'never' means
# on_reboot = 'destroy'
# on_crash =
'destroy'
#
#on_reboot = 'restart'
#on_crash = 'restart'
