This configures how the toolstack handles requests to put a VM to S3. Note that this doesn't affect requests made from within guest, but just requests originating from the UI / closing the laptopt laptop lid etc. It can be one of the following:

...

  • XenMgr/Connect/* - wrappers to access other daemons in the system
  • XenMgr/Expose/* - entry points for all xenmgr's dbus server rpcs
  • XenMgr/CdLock.hs - relatively new code for handling the AFRL request cd drive lock model
  • XenMgr/Config.hs - global xenmgr config storage/query
  • XenMgr/Diagnostics.hs - gathering status reports from vms + other diagnostics
  • XenMgr/Diskmgr.hs - vhd creation
  • XenMgr/Errors.hs - definition of numbered errors reported to the UI
  • XenMgr/Host.hs - lots of host level query functions (eth0 mac adreesesadresses, bios versions, xc versions, update state etc)
  • XenMgr/HostOps.hs - host shutdown/sleesleep/hibernate/reboot entry points
  • XenMgr/PowerManagement.hs - actual implementation of host shutdown/sleep/hibernate/reboot etc plus code to handle lid state changes
  • XenMgr/Notify.hs - wrappers for easier generation of various dbus signals
  • XenMgr/Rpc.hs - definition of Rpc monad used in xenmgr for dbus access
  • XenMgr/XM.hs - definition of XM monad based on reader monad containing context forall vms. Useful for doing some cross vm interactions which require locking / synchronization

...

you can put the following parameters in your config file:

(common options)

key nametypedescription
hvmscommand line given to the kernel
startupsspecify what to do with the domain at startup possibles value: started, paused, shutdown or restore
debugblogs all operations to /tmp/xenvm-debug-%uuid
uuidsspecify the domain uuid (default to autogeneration)
on_crashsspecify the action to be taken after notifying a
on_haltscrash/halt/reboot. possible values:
on_rebootspreserve, reboot, destroy
kernelsspecify where to find the kernel to boot (can be empty for hvm. default to hvmloader)
memoryispecify the memory given to the guest in megabytes
vcpusinumber of vcpus available to the guest
disksadd 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)
nicsadd 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 = "
pcisadd a pci device.
  


format: devid,bind,domain:bus device.function
serialsredirect serial to device or network tcp:ip:port
  


ex: "pty" or "tcp:1.2.3.4:1234"
displaysdetails 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 nametypedescription
cmdlinescommand line given to the kernel
initrdsspecify the initrd use, leave empty for none

(the following are just useful for hvm)

key nametypedescription
paebspecify that the guest is using PAE
acpibspecify that the guest is using ACPI
apicbspecify that the guest is using APIC
nxbspecify that the guest is using NX
smbios-ptbspecify that the guest is using smbios pass-through
smbios-oem-type-ptitables number to passthrough
acpi-ptbspecify that the guest is using ACPI pass-through
diskinfo-ptbspecify the guest is using SCSI diskinfo pass-through
bootsspecify the qemu boot string
extra-hvmk=vspecify extra arguments passthrough to qemu as -k v
power-managementispecify the power management passthrough mode
  


- 1 : pass-through mode (limited scope)
  


- 2 : non pass-through mode (in doubt use this)
oem-featuresispecify 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-modeispecify the timer mode used.
timeoffsetsspecify the time offset (i.e. timezone) used.
pci-msitranslateispecify whether to use MSI-INTx translation for guest.
pci-power-managementispecify whether or not to enable Dx power management
  


for passthrough devices.
inject-sciispecify whether or not to inject SCIs like lid close,
  


power button press to guest. (Default: no injection)
