http://www.2virt.com/blog/?category_name=xen I ran #!/bin/bash function dumpkey() { local param=${1} local key local result result=$(xenstore-list ${param}) if [ "${result}" != "" ] ; then for key in ${result} ; do dumpkey ${param}/${key} ; done else echo -n ${param}'=' xenstore-read ${param} fi } for key in /vm /local/domain /tool ; do dumpkey ${key} ; done and got
