Manage XEND

From Wiki

Managing Xen Virtual Machines

Xend can only be managed on dom0, as it has only exlusive access to the hardware. As a result, any temperature or SMART/Disk Monitoring must be done here also.

The basic commands are:

xm list
xm top

To get a list of all the XEND control options type:

xm


To RESTART XEND when it crashed etc.

This is extreme - and caused the Virtual Machine in question to remain "dying".

/etc/init.d/xend restart  //didnt work
//do this ->
/etc/init.d/xend stop
killall xenstored xenconsoled
rm -rf /var/lib/xenstored/*
/etc/init.d/xend start
netstat -ltnp  //make sure there is nothing on ports 8000, 8001, 8002, or 8005
kill any above processes if there are and ->
/etc/init.d/xend start //this will get xend up and running. The virtual machines may need taking care of
