the virsh console command is upstreamed right now. do u have anyother command must use xl cli with the details from "xl list -l"? the details of vm could get from virsh dumpxml domain_name or xenstore-ls. is it enough for you?

I'm sure there are other ways to get the same information but I was looking for some consistency. Prior to upgrading to opensuse 12.3, I didn't use virsh or libvirt. I could use virt-manager and vm-install to create VMs and manage them with xm. After upgrading to opensuse 12.3, virt-manager and vm-install use libvirt. This is currently pushing me towards libvirtd and virsh but I still have VMs that were created prior to my upgrade and exist outside libvirtd control. I was hoping I could still maintain the same workflow and simply replace xm with xl but I guess that isn't going to be possible. I suspect I will end up migrating everything to virsh and libvirtd but until the upstream code for "virsh console" makes it's way into opensuse, I will continue to have to use a mix of commands. But as James said, useful/informative error messages are always preferred. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After upgrading to opensuse 12.3, virt-manager and vm-install use libvirt.

virt-manager and vm-install have always used libvirt. What did change in 12.3 is moving the libvirt xen driver from libvirt-client to libvirtd. So libvirtd is now required on xen hosts even when using the legacy xend driver. It has always been required when using the libxl stack.

This is currently pushing me towards libvirtd and virsh but I still have VMs that were created prior to my upgrade and exist outside libvirtd control.

xl is supposed to be compatible with xm, so your existing tooling/scripts should still work. That said, I'd suggesting using libvirt anyhow since it will provide a stable interface even when upstream Xen swaps one toolstack for another.

I was hoping I could still maintain the same workflow and simply replace xm with xl but I guess that isn't going to be possible.

Are there specific issues preventing this? As mentioned above, upstream Xen strives for xl compatibility with xm.

until the upstream code for "virsh console" makes it's way into opensuse

Will be included in 13.1. FYI, if you live on the bleeding edge, the OBS Virtualization project always contains the latest, SUSE-packaged libvirt, which e.g. contains Bamvor's console patches https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization/libvirt -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, since the point of the bug is that I can't do a long list using xl on VMs created using vm-install which is something I could do with with xm, I'd say that is a fairly specific issue preventing me from maintaining the same workflow. ;) Prior to opensuse 12.3, I used to use virt-manager and vm-install for creating VMs and then managed them using xm. I can't just swap out xl for xm and keep doing that. Before 12.3, I didn't use virsh. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
