Before stating the actual issue, how do I modify the configuration files to 
remove a domain without xen loading. Basically I screwed up one of the domains 
disk preventing xen from loading
The error I'm getting at bootup is
svc:/system/xvm/store:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/xenstored start" failed 
with exit status 96
system/xvm/store:default misconfigured: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs 
-xv' for details)

svcs -xv
svc:/system/xvm/store:default (Hypervisor Store Daemon)
 State: maintenance since November  9, 2009  4:48:28 PM EST
Reason: Start method exited with $SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-KS
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M xenstored
   See: /var/svc/log/system-xvm-store:default.log
Impact: 4 dependent services are not running:
        svc:/system/xvm/xend:default
        svc:/system/xvm/domains:default
        svc:/system/xvm/console:default
        svc:/system/xvm/virtd:default

The domain was a fresh install - I'm more then happy to nuke it and/or rollback 
xen itself (and reinstall it) but have no idea how to do either (most of the 
destroy methods rely on xen actually working)

How I got into the mess :D
1) I'm using snv_126 and installed xen. 
2) I was able to do the install / reboot in dom0 successfully
3) i then proceeded to install a centos domu which was also successful. 
   (I did this with a zvol at /tank/vm/centos54/disk0. I first did a mkdir   
/tank/vm/centos54 before creating the vm itself with the zvol disk parameter)
4) After everything was working satisfactorily I did a reboot (to get rid of 
the nfs mounted centos dvd) and everything went to hell.. 
5) Initial error = /tank/vm is not empty - cannot mount. 
6) I tried removing /tank/vm/centos but was unable to (device busy). 
7) I then succeeded in doing a mv which was successful 
8) On reboot I got a large number of out of swap space errors
9) I rebooted into the pre-xen environment 
10) I rebooted into the xen environment again which booted but gave the error 
mentioned in the beginning of the post

i'm presuming with the mv I messed up where its looking for disks and xen 
before loading checks if all the disks are around and fails at that point (pure 
conjecture on my part). 
Any advice on what config files to modify and how to eliminate the zfs zvol to 
get xen to a pristine state 
or any other advice to get a working system again?
