It is the main interface for
the management of Xen domains. It is very useful to get comfortable using xm as it
is guaranteed to be available on any system that is running Xen. In this section we
explored the various management tasks that can be performed using xm.
Xm also provides the ability to perform other management functions that we will
cover later in this book:
Virtual devices: Adds and removes virtual devices while the guest domain
is running. You can attach and detach both storage devices and network
devices using xm. We will discuss the network device related commands in
the next chapter and the storage device related options in Chapter 6.
Security: Manages security policies in Xen. We will explore Xen security
in Chapter 7.
Migration: Migrates the guest domain. We will learn about migration
in Chapter 8.
There are also other less common management related operations you can perform
with xm. Please check the latest Xen documentation or the xm manual page for details
on these options.
XenMan??”Installing and Running
Console applications are not for everyone and some people prefer to click around
in a GUI to perform tasks. In this section we are going to use XenMan, a graphical
management application for Xen. It is an open-source application and provides a
wide range of administrative capabilities.
