Great when there is a simple fix. Thanks soooo much. Is this
documented somewhere and I missed it?

maybe I've missed something but if I reboot or shutdown a guest

From the Virtual Machine Manager (FC6) if I go : File --> Restore
saved machine (Restore a saved machine from a filesystem image)
and pint to /vm/webserver I get a dialogue box stating:
*Error restoring domain '/vm/webserver'. Is the domain already
running?*
Similary if I try to restore from the disk file with xm restore I
get the following:
*# xm restore /vm/webserver*
*Error: Restore failed*
*Usage: xm restore <CheckpointFile>*
*Restore a domain from a saved state.*
I'm guessing that the disk file is not the correct file to restore

documentation
on how to open these machines.
No, the 'restore' functionality is for re-activating a suspended VM
that has previously been saved out to disk with 'save'. Think of it
as equivalent of 'hibernate to disk' on your laptop.
If you shutdown/reboot the domain then 'restore' is not what you want
instead you want 'create' which is equivalent of cold boot on a laptop.
eg, 'xm create <name>'.
Unfortunately once you shutdown a domain, XenD looses all knowledge of
it - that's why 'xm list' didn't show it, and virt-manager can't see
it. Rest assured the domain is stilon disk - the config file is kept
in /etc/xen. If you use 'xm create' then it loads the config file into
XenD and boots the domain.
We're actively working on getting support for inactivate domains into
virt-manager which will help resolve the confusion in this area.

Dan.
