There are other utilities and log files you should be aware of for tracking errors and troubleshooting problems with Xen:
- Guest images reside in the
/var/lib/libvirt/images
directory by default.
- When you restart the
xend
daemon, it updates thexend-database
that resides in the/var/lib/xen/xend-db
directory.
- Virtual machine dumps (that you perform with the
xm dump-core
command) resides in the/var/lib/xen/dumps
directory.
- The
/etc/xen
directory contains the configuration files that you use to manage system resources. Thexend
daemon configuration file is/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
. This file can be edited to implement system-wide changes and configure the networking. However, manually editing files in the/etc/xen/
folder is not advised.
- The
proc
folders are another resource that allows you to gather system information. These proc entries reside in the/proc/xen
directory:
/proc/xen/capabilities
/proc/xen/balloon
/proc/xen/xenbus/
