=== 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

==== XEN LIST TOP Codes ====
 xm top
