The .sxp files you found below /var/lib/xend/ use the former syntax, the guest configuration in /etc/xen the latter. I'd recommend to stick to libvirt as much as possible. Check "man virsh", in particular the domain commands "dumpxml" and "define". -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
