Just FYI, as a fall-back you can always move yourself to the Xen 4.4 "track" by:
1. Installing centos-release-xen-44
2. Removing centos-release-xen
3. "yum downgrade" all the Xen packages.
This will switch you to repos which will only have Xen 4.4; and Johnny
will be doing XSA backports until the 4.4 EOL in 2017. You can
upgrade to 4.6 again by either re-installing centos-release-xen (which
will update to the latest automatically) or installing
centos-release-xen-46 (which will stay on Xen 4.6). (You can install
multiple packages at the same time; yum will just choose the highest
version available.)
</pre></blockquote>ahh. thanks. i tried downgrading, but did not install centos-release-xen44 so the downgrade failed. this makes sense now that i see that i would need to jump tracks. thanks for suggesting it.<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 1;" class="">

So just checking -- the issue here is that you're not using the
".cfg"-style config files, but the sxp-style config files? You're not
using libvirt, is that right?
</pre></blockquote>at the time i set all this up i don’t think i understood what i was doing very well. i certainly am using libvirt (i use virsh and virt-manager), so i am not sure what fork in the road i took to wind up making sxp-style config files. :}<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 1;" class="">
Unfortunately parsing sxp config files and running "managed domains"
are one feature that was explicitly chose as something we wouldn't be
supporting in xl going forward [1]. You'll probably have to do some
sort of manual conversion.
