You can dump libvirt altogether if you like (which is what I did) and manage domUs using xm commands. That way (if you want to) it can be just like your previous setup. Are you suggesting that xm create, which I always use to launch the domain, behaves differently depending on whether libvirt is running or not? Which is why I told you earlier "If by "convert" you mean "run these old dom0 on new version of dom0", then you don't have to do anything. Old domU config should run just fine." Except that I want to move the kernel inside the domU and boot using pygrub, which I wasn't doing on this system before. You are right that if I try to start the unmodified xen domU config on the new dom0 (with disabled libvirtd) I can do it. but if I try to change anything-- even shift to pygrub with same disk configuration, things don't work. Ideas? So does anyone know how to export a single partition to a libvirt-enabled xen domU that's otherwise installed already, orFirst method is to shutdown domU and edit its config file. They're still located under /etc/xen. That's what I'm trying.. there is no way to get any sda device to show up at all. Would it be different if I stopped libvirt? Second method is to use "xm block-attach" (or virsh attach-disk). You may still have to edit the config file afterwards. virsh attach-disk according to its man page says that this will make a full disk which still has to be formatted and partitioned. Is this not the case? how to take a non-libvirt domU with 3 such partitions and turn it into one that is\Put the config file on /etc/xen, run "xm create" or "xm new" _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.
