Can anyone explain > what I have done wrong to prevent my inactive virtual machines from > appearing in virt-manager? Xen 3.0.4 has built in domain management. Unfortunately in doing this upstream Xen moved the config dir from /etc/xen to /var/lib/xen. So to make your inactive domains appear to Xen / virt-manager you need to load them into Xen by using 'xm new <name>' for each config in the /etc/xen directory. After doing this they should appear when doing xm list virsh list --all And in virt-manager Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
