Hello,

I was looking at http://libvirt.org/drvxen.html

And realized that "virsh domxml-to-native" may be used to convert the libvirt xml formatted domU configuration to native.

The configuration is for stubdom-dm Xen guests.

Syntax appears to be virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm new_vm1.xml > /etc/xen/new_vm1 but I get an error.

error: invalid argument in unsupported config type xen-xm


Can someone please post their output of the command: virsh domxml-to-native xen-xm new_vm1.xml


The working libvirt XML formatted Xen DomU config (new_vm1.xml)
