Upgrading from F20 to F21 domU are disappeared

[Roberto Fichera]

Hi All,

I've upgraded my F20 installation to F21, but all my xen domains are just disappeared
against the new xl interface. BTW the domains are present in /var/lib/xend/domains/<uuid>/config.sxp,
so my question is how can I migrate such domain to the new xen version?

Thanks in advance,
Roberto Fichera.

Well with xl you need to have the vm cfgfiles under /etc/xen/,
so migrate the configs there, and create (start) the VMs.

Note that with xl there's no similar mode as the xend "managed mode" was.

Yes! I know! But as you certain know using virt-manager this is not the case. In fact I don't have
any cfg file with my /etc/xen directory.

Yep! BTW I've sorted out the problem by recreating by hand all the DomU starting from the
related .sxp configuration files. Was a little boring, but now everything works ok.

To export from libvirt to xen you can do (while still running xend+libvirt):

virsh dumpxml <vm> > vm.xml
virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm vm.xml > vm.cfg
