[sles-beta] Creating XEN VM files to use with HA cluster

[Darren Thompson]

Team

Found it, old dog needs to learn some new tricks ;-)

"# virsh dumpxml *GuestID* > *guest.xml"*

From:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/form-Virtualization-Managing_guests_with_virsh-Creating_a_virtual_machine_XML_dump_configuration_file.html
(Is there updated SLES12 documentation on this yet)

Also, the original Xen OCF cluster resource cannot be used as it's hard
coded to "xm" which is depreciated.

There is a new 'VirtualDomain' OCF file which is used for clustering
'lib-virt' compatible VM's (which seems to support Xen, KVM etc).
