a xen domu is created from config-file on hostA, then migrated to hostB. On hostB, a new disk is added with "xl block-attach", works very well.

"xl config-update" seems to be a way to edit config files, but once the domU has been migrated to hostB, the original file isn't immediately available - what do I need to get the new block device reflected in the config that goes with the domU ?

I think that requires a newer libxl version which tracks the config in a separate JSON file. Until then the domU.cfg has to be adjusted along with the 'xl block-attach'.

Thanks Olaf, I suspected that too. Just wondering what other people do when you have multiple xen hosts and you migrate domUs between them - do you keep the configs on NFS, shared by all hosts? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, exactly that. Norman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
