Description of problem:
The command "xm list" does not work anymore.
It used to work with xen-3.0.3-1.fc6, but it stopped working after then yum update I did to xen-3.0.3-3.fc6.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen,  xen-3.0.3-3.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'xm list'

Actual Results:
[root@hostname bin]# xm list
Name                                      ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State   Time(s)
Error: method "xend.domain.getSysMem" is not supported
Usage: xm list [options] [Domain, ...]

List information about all/some domains.
  -l, --long                     Output all VM details in SXP
  --label                        Include security labels

[root@hostname bin]#

Expected Results:
A normal list of Xen domain should be displayed.

The commands 'xm create' and 'xm shutdown' work fine.

Comment 2 Egon Kastelijn 2007-01-18 12:50:47 UTC
"xm log" shows:

Comment 3 Daniel Berrangé 2007-01-18 14:07:07 UTC
The 'getSysMem' method is a new XML-RPC call added to XenD to let it report the
actual guest memory usage, rather than merely the assigned usage. Since this is
a new method though, it will be neccessary to restart XenD after installation of
the update. The RPM does not do this automatically, because restarting XenD can
have a detrimental impact on any running guests, and also on the host networking.

Anyway, can you confirm that the 'xm list' command works correctly again after
restarting the xend service.
