I do a a xml dump of the domU: [root@xenmaster xen]# virsh dumpxml asterisk > guest.xml libvir: error : failed to read configuration file /etc/xen/guest.xml Though there's an error, guest.xml is created and looks okay. 2. I try to define the domU with the xml file I just dumped (after editing the RAM parameters): [root@xenmaster xen]# virsh define guest.xml libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting a name libvir: Xen Daemon error : internal error domain with name already exists error: Failed to define domain from guest.xml I check domU config file, and nothing has changed: the define really did fail. 3. I undefine said domU: [root@xenmaster xen]# virsh undefine asterisk libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting a name Domain asterisk has been undefined The asterisk config has been deleted, so it looks good so far. 4. I again try to define the asterisk domU with the xml file I dumped earlier: [root@xenmaster xen]# virsh define guest.xml libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting a name Domain asterisk defined from guest.xml I check the domU config, and it's been updated with the changes I made to the xml dump. I hope that helps.
