For a more complete guide see xl.cfg(5) # This configures an HVM rather than PV guest builder = "hvm" # Guest name name = "botany" # 128-bit UUID for the domain as a hexadecimal number. # Use "uuidgen" to generate one if required. uuid = "$(uuidgen)" # Initial memory allocation (MB) memory = 3072 maxmem = 3072 # Number of VCPUS vcpus = 1 maxvcpus = 1 # Network devices # A list of 'vifspec' entries as described in # docs/misc/xl-network-configuration.markdown vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:00:00:04,bridge=xenbr0' ] # Disk Devices # A list of 'diskspec' entries as described in # docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt disk = [ '/OVS/running_pool/BOTANY/root_disk,raw,xvda,rw' ] # Guest VGA console configuration, either SDL or VNC vnc = 1 vnclisten = "0.0.0.0" vncdisplay = 2 DONE
