Re: [CentOS] centos] Xen VM vanishes after creation

As another poster already said...`man xm`.

Doesn't help, doesn't tell me how to start a VM that wasn't saved. No, "xm create" does *not* do this.

Here's a hint: `/usr/sbin/xm

create ${config_file}`. When you shutdown a guest it does leave the list of running domains (i.e. what `xm list` shows you). The default location for VM configurations is '/etc/xen/'. If you want them to start at boot, sym-link the conf to '/etc/xen/auto/'.

And how do I start this VM in a running system? Or is booting it up when xend boots up the only option? If so, then I don't see this mentioned anywhere.
