you can put the following parameters in your config file:
(common options)
| key name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| hvm | s | command line given to the kernel |
| startup | s | specify what to do with the domain at startup possibles value: started, paused, shutdown or restore |
| debug | b | logs all operations to /tmp/xenvm-debug-%uuid |
| uuid | s | specify the domain uuid (default to autogeneration) |
| on_crash | s | specify the action to be taken after notifying a |
| on_halt | s | crash/halt/reboot. possible values: |
| on_reboot | s | preserve, reboot, destroy |
| kernel | s | specify where to find the kernel to boot (can be empty for hvm. default to hvmloader) |
| memory | i | specify the memory given to the guest in megabytes |
| vcpus | i | number of vcpus available to the guest |
| disk | s | add a virtual disk. |
| format: physpath:phystype:virtpath:mode:devty[:k=v...] | ||
| - physpath: path to the disk image, raw device, .. | ||
| - phystype: phy | ||
| - virtpath: hd(a-d) | ||
| - mode: r | ||
| - devtype = cdrom | ||
| - extra k=v arguments (cipher, key-size, key-file) | ||
| nic | s | add a virtual nic. |
| format: key=value,key=value,... (can be empty) | ||
| supported key: bridge, mac, id | ||
| examples: | ||
| "nic = bridge=xen-br0,mac=ab:ef:fe:dc:ba:ab" | ||
| "nic = mac=ab:ef:fe:dc:ba:ab" | ||
| "nic = " | ||
| pci | s | add a pci device. |
| format: devid,bind,domain:bus device.function | ||
| serial | s | redirect serial to device or network tcp:ip:port |
| ex: "pty" or "tcp:1.2.3.4:1234" | ||
| display | s | details the type of display available for the guest |
| format: :key[=value],key[=value],... | ||
| possible values: | ||
| - none | ||
| - vnc (keys allowed: use-port-unused, keymap, port) | ||
| - sdl | ||
| - intel |
(the following are just useful for pv)
| key name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| cmdline | s | command line given to the kernel |
| initrd | s | specify the initrd use, leave empty for none |
(the following are just useful for hvm)
| key name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| pae | b | specify that the guest is using PAE |
| acpi | b | specify that the guest is using ACPI |
| apic | b | specify that the guest is using APIC |
| nx | b | specify that the guest is using NX |
| smbios-pt | b | specify that the guest is using smbios pass-through |
| smbios-oem-type-pt | i | tables number to passthrough |
| acpi-pt | b | specify that the guest is using ACPI pass-through |
| diskinfo-pt | b | specify the guest is using SCSI diskinfo pass-through |
| boot | s | specify the qemu boot string |
| extra-hvm | k=v | specify extra arguments passthrough to qemu as -k v |
| power-management | i | specify the power management passthrough mode |
| - 1 : pass-through mode (limited scope) | ||
| - 2 : non pass-through mode (in doubt use this) | ||
| oem-features | i | specify whether or not to pass through oem features. |
| Note: At the moment any integer value can be passed | ||
| but this is likely to change in future especially if | ||
| we decide to pass through a subset of oem features | ||
| and let user configure that subset. | ||
| timer-mode | i | specify the timer mode used. |
| timeoffset | s | specify the time offset (i.e. timezone) used. |
| pci-msitranslate | i | specify whether to use MSI-INTx translation for guest. |
| pci-power-management | i | specify whether or not to enable Dx power management |
| for passthrough devices. | ||
| inject-sci | i | specify whether or not to inject SCIs like lid close, |
| power button press to guest. (Default: no injection) |
