35.4. Important directory locations
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/imagesdirectory by default.
- When you restart the
xenddaemon, it updates thexend-databasethat resides in the/var/lib/xen/xend-dbdirectory.
- Virtual machine dumps (that you perform with the
xm dump-corecommand) resides in the/var/lib/xen/dumpsdirectory.
- The
/etc/xendirectory contains the configuration files that you use to manage system resources. Thexenddaemon 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
procfolders are another resource that allows you to gather system information. These proc entries reside in the/proc/xendirectory:
/proc/xen/capabilities
/proc/xen/balloon
/proc/xen/xenbus/
