Oracle VM Server Configuration File
B-2 Oracle VM Server User's Guide
Oracle VM Server Configuration File
This section contains information on configuring Oracle VM Server using the
configuration file. The configuration file options are available in the
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file. When you make changes to this file, you must restart
Oracle VM Server for the changes to take effect.
Logfile Options
logfile { location }
Specifies the location of the Oracle VM Server log which contains detailed information
on guest start up, shut down, configuration, and error conditions. The default location
is /var/log/xen/xend.log.
(logfile /var/log/xen/xend.log)
loglevel {CRITICAL or FATAL | ERROR | WARN or WARNING | INFO | DEBUG}
Sets the level of verbosity for the logfile parameter. The default is
DEBUG
.
(loglevel DEBUG)
Oracle VM Server API Options
xen-api-server {( access-method ) ...}
access-method {(for local access): [(unix [ authtype ])]}
access-method {(for remote access): ([ ipaddress ]: port [ authtype [ host-access [ ssl-key
[ ssl-cert ]]]])}
Sets the configuration of the Oracle VM Server API which uses an XML-RPC interface
to control and monitor guests and the dom0 host.
A list of access method entries should be provided, each entry in the list enclosed in
parentheses, and the list itself enclosed in its own parentheses.
If dom0 local access is required, the access method entry should begin with the
unix
parameter. This creates a unix socket in a directory on the dom0 file system. An
authtype
parameter may also be supplied as a second argument.
If remote access is required, the access method entry should take a TCP port number
as its first argument, or an
ipaddress:port
number pair. This TCP port is used to
listen for incoming Oracle VM Server API requests on all dom0 network interfaces, or
only on one specific interface if an IP address of a dom0 interface is given.
The optional
authtype
parameter can be set to
none
or
pam
(Pluggable
Authentication Model).
The optional
host-access
parameter can be a list of space separated regular
expressions to list the host IP addresses or host names to allow access. This parameter
is only enabled for remote access.
The optional
ssl-key
is the private key for SSL communication. This parameter is
only enabled for remote access.
The optional
ssl-cert
is the SSL certificate for SSL communication. This parameter
is only enabled for remote access.
The default is
unix
.
(xen-api-server ((10.1.1.1:9363 none)(unix none)))
(xen-api-server ((9363 pam '^localhost$ example\\.com$')(unix none)))
