[opensuse-virtual] Guest launches manually OK, not on System reboot when config is in /etc/xen/auto ?
Hi, I've gotten my 1st VM up & running on Opensuse 11.4 (both Dom0 & Guest) mostly the way I want it. I can bring it up/down manually from the shell command line with no problems, but starting from /etc/xen/auto isn't working. After system boot only the Dom0 is started, not the Guest. To troubleshoot I tried: service xendomains stop Shutting down Xen domains WARNING: xend is running! It is not recommended using libxenlight in conjunction with the legacy xend toolstack. Use -f (force) to override WARNING: xend is running! It is not recommended using libxenlight in conjunction with the legacy xend toolstack. Use -f (force) to override done service xendomains start Starting auto Xen domains mail.cfg: WARNING: xend is running! It is not recommended using libxenlight in conjunction with the legacy xend toolstack. Use -f (force) to override WARNING: xend is running! It is not recommended using libxenlight in conjunction with the legacy xend toolstack. Use -f (force) to override failed At this point there's no Guest launched: xm list Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 1010 1 r----- 50.0 I 'tail -f /var/log/xen/*log /var/log/messages' to try to see more detail about what's happening at the 'service xendomains restart', but there's no output at all. I only get that feedback at the shell where I exec the command. Looking online I found this thread by <Jim Fehlig>: [openFATE 311112] libvirt driver for new xen toolstack http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-features/2011-03/msg00212.html Which talks about 'libxenlight' & 'legacy' stack on Opensuse. A bit over my head at this early stage :-/ I have these xen-related packages installed on the Host: rpm -qa | grep -i xen xen-tools-4.1.2_01-143.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-2.6.37.6-0.7.1.x86_64 xen-4.1.2_01-143.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.37.6-0.7.1.x86_64 xen-kmp-default-4.1.2_01_k2.6.37.6_0.7-143.1.x86_64 xen-libs-4.1.2_01-143.1.x86_64 Is this all related to my not being able to auto-launch the Guest? Or is it something else? How can I get more, or any, debug information that's useful?

With help in this thread, http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2011-09/msg00368.html the problem seems to be the 'xl toolstack'. Changing in /etc/init.d/xendomains, - xm_cmd=xl + xm_cmd=xm Seems to fix the problem. Is this a bug in the native xl toolchain, Opensuse's build of it, or just the script? Or something else?

There could be problems in xl/libxl, and wouldn't surprise me a bit if there are bugs in the script. Ensuring the script works with the new tool stack is on my long list of things to do. As you discovered, using the legacy xm/xend toolstack is a workaround.

Sounds like it's on the plan, then. Other than manually working around the problem for now, is there anything we can or should do to aovid having that "broken" toolchain definition in the script overwritten by some near term upgrad?
