I've got a disk image built with debootstrap in the hvm domU, and just need to create a definition for it to run paravirtualized. Only problem is that I cannot find the documentation for the xml configuration file format so that I can "virsh dumpxml/define" to make this change.
Does the documentation for dumpxml exist? I did find the doc on libvirt.org, but xvm seems to differ slightly from the examples that are there. Or do I need to get another paravirtualized guest installed to see what is used... -- paul _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
