i have tried for a couple of hours this morning to find a way to do the conversion in a post xend world, but canâ**t seem to do it. I still have all my disk images, and i see the domain config.sxp configuration files in /var/lib/xend/domains/<uuid> but i am not enough of a xen expert to figure out how to migrate those.
is there a simple way to move to libxl now that xend is gone and i did not dump the xml files?
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?
at the time i set all this up i donâ**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. :}
When you have xend + libvirtd running, you can do:
virsh dumpxml vm1 > vm1.xml virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm vm1.xml > /etc/xen/vm1
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.

got it. i think i read thru that page too quickly before. since the images are there, and all i need to do is to effectively reconfigure the domUs, i think i will do that manually. that will accomplish two things: a) force me to document how i set them up better, and b) drive me to understand some aspects of this betterâ*Š :} fortunately i had hosed up my dev host and dev VMs, and was smart enough to catch this mistake before i broke the production ones :} thanks again for all the help. r.
