Hi all
I am using XenAPI (port 9363) to create new domains through ruby
scripting...Xen is a registered package(gem) in ruby which provides an
interface to the XenAPI.Its quite basic as compared to the python bindings.
Domains created in this way do not show any domain Id ....after inspecting
the XML RPC messages , i found that these doamins have dom id = -1 ..i.e
idle domains to my understanding.
I am not able to xm destroy/shutdown/restart or control these domains in any
way.These domains remain in xm list even after i reboot the machine.
1) Any suggestions regarding this ..or What to do with idle domains
Heres wht i found about idle domains :
"Dom idle
denote a special idle domain that "executes" on the
CPU when there are no other runnable domains (i.e. there is
no virtual machine that is not-blocked and not-idle). Dom
idle
is the analog to the "idle-loop" executed by an OS when there
are no other runnable processes."
2) Are domains created through API different from those created from config
file?
How do they differ ...is this what is managed and unmanaged domains ?
Cheers
