# Example Python setup script for 'xm create'.
# This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using 'xm create'.
#
# This is a relatively advanced script that uses a parameter, vmid, to control
# the settings. So this script can be used to start a set of domains by
# setting the vmid parameter on the 'xm create' command line. For example:
#
# xm create vmid=1
# xm create vmid=2
# xm create vmid=3
#
# The vmid is purely a script variable, and has no effect on the the domain
# id assigned to the new domain.
#============================================================================
# Define script variables here.
# xm_vars is defined automatically, use xm_vars.var() to define a variable.
# This function checks that 'vmid' has been given a valid value.
# It is called automatically by 'xm create'.
def vmid_check(var, val):
val = int(val)
if val <= 0:
raise ValueError
return val
# Define the 'vmid' variable so that 'xm create' knows about it.
xm_vars.var('vmid',
use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater than 0.",
check=vmid_check)
# Check the defined variables have valid values..
xm_vars.check()

# Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and

# Each disk entry is of the form phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE

# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.
# This makes the disk device depend on the vmid - assuming
# that devices sda7, sda8 etc. exist. The device is exported
# to all domains as sda1.
# All domains get sda6 read-only (to use for /usr, see below).
