Anyway, here's something I noticed while testing xend bits:

# systemctl enable xend.service xend.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig xend on The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:

1. A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2. A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it.
3. A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

"systemctl start xend.service" works OK though.. and after that xm works too.

Right -- I haven't tried xend under systemd. Given that xend is gone in 4.6, I'm considering whether to say "patches welcome" re fixing xend in 4.4 for C7...

I'll try to investigate..

Thanks,
