xend Settings
The xend is a key component of Xen virtualization. It performs management functions
and stores settings that relate to the host environment and each virtual machine. You
can customize xend to meet your specific configuration requirements.
• To specify xend operating parameters, edit the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
file. The settings take effect the next time xend starts.
