Hello List,

maybe a question that would asked 1000 Times, but i can't find an answer to my question with the
help of Google ;)

I am using Fedora Rawhide and Xen Version 4.13 and i would like to start a vm in the terminal.

I go to /etc/libvirt/libxl and make this:

[root@schulung libxl]# pwd
/etc/libvirt/libxl
[root@schulung libxl]# xl create -n centos8.0.xml
Parsing config from centos8.0.xml
centos8.0.xml:1: config parsing error near `': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:8: config parsing error near `<domain': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:8: config parsing error near `>': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:10: config parsing error near `<uuid>4f37dc8f-ceed-45cd-a061-6d5ca0f62b33</uuid>':
lexical error
centos8.0.xml:11: config parsing error near `<memory': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:12: config parsing error near `<currentMemory': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:13: config parsing error near `<vcpu': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:14: config parsing error near `<os>': lexical error
centos8.0.xml:15: config parsing error near `<type': lexical error
warning: Config file looks like it contains Python code.
warning: Arbitrary Python is no longer supported.
warning: See http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/PythonInXlConfig
Failed to parse config: Invalid argument
[root@schulung libxl]#

So, with virt-manager this no Problem to start a VM, Xl shutdown works for me.

So, were is my fault? Use i the wrong command to start a vm?

Regards

Dirk

The configuration file for libvirt and xl is different. You will want to
convert the file if you want to use xl.

You can read [1] for more details on xl configuration file.

You should use libvirt tools instead of 'xl', like:
virsh start centos8.0
