I have a domain 'host10' that no longer exists on the system. The config file was renamed, the configuration changed to point to a different .img, and the image name was renamed as well.

I've done this multiple times, in the end I renamed and moved 10 domU's. This is the ONLY one that continuously tries to restore when the system boots.

How can I prevent xend from trying to restore a deleted VM? I removed the symlink out of /etc/xen/auto, to no avail.

Xen makes a file, called a save file, in my case (CentOS 5.6) it was in /var/lib/xen/save. I did an rm on that file, and now it no longer attempts to restore this deleted VM.

Perhaps you should disable this function. We had here the problem that there was an old snapshot of an mashine in this folder. And after a long time we made a reboot and they restored the old snapshot. After that the filesystem in the disk was broken. Perhaps it was only a bug but i don't know. – Stony May 26 '11 at 7:49
