--- Comment #12 from James Fehlig
Since the change from xm to xl (comment #3) I can only see the virtual machines that I have created afresh. VMM no longer displays the old virtual machines.
Right. As we've discussed, you have to 'virsh define vm.xml' to import the old machines into libvirt. Did you try that with Debian6.xml after making the change I suggested in #10?
I tried copying the amended Debian6.xml from /etc/xen/vm to /etc/libvirt/libxl where the new dsl13.1.xml got created but it isn't recognized by VMM and I am wary of randomly trying things.
The proper way to "copy" the .xml files to /etc/libvirt/libxl is to use 'virsh define vm.xml'. You can literally copy files to this location, but libvirtd must be restarted so they are read.
I am happy, indeed would prefer, to try using xl to try to recover the old *.xml files (with or without your suggested edit) but I will need some guidance as to what I need to type.
If you have the old xml files, then import them using 'virsh define vm.xml'. If they fail to import, then let's figure out why. -- 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.
