I have basically followed these instructions on building a xen cluster... http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2007/08/23/automated-failover-and-recovery-of- virtualized-guests-in-advanced-platform/#comment-121366 When I issue a "xm destroy <ID>" the vm automatically reboots backup, but when I reboot or shut down a machine the VM's that were on the shutdown node never come back up on the existing node. Any idea why this doesn't work? Thanks!
