Viewing XAPI's vm config in form of xl.cfg

[grekdawid26]

Hello,
I'm trying to learn a little bit of Xen and its elements, unfortunately I find it really difficult to understand how exactly the XAPI translates some of its vm's attributes to the options available in xl.cfg.

I suppose that the 'xl' tool/binary is closer in its configuration options to the parameters that libxl functions take. Is there a way to 'ask' XAPI (maybe there is some dev-tool in source) to generate a xl.cfg-like representation of an XAPI's vm config?

Hi,

No, it's not possible: XAPI and xl are very very different. However, you can tell us what do you need and we could help to tell if it's needed or possible in XAPI
