Looking at https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen/blob/xen-46/SPECS/xen.spec#L613 it looks like xendomains is not enabled by default. It looks like that happened in https://github.com/CentOS-virt7/xen/commit/01a31207ef50ec8c664fa0807ac85075dca3aa53. No clue as to why. --Sarah _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt at centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
