Re: [Patch] add XenStore viewer

[tgh <wwwwww4187@sina.com.cn>]

hi
I read the code of "save"and "restore"virtual machine in the PVmode, and
there are many interactions with the xenstore, it seems that when
restoring virtual machine, adding the entry in xenstore will invoke some
watch function to add and initiate some useful devices in the dom0 for
backend, is it ? and does it even inform the guestos to add frontend ?
I am not familar with python, and confused about the whole workflow for
the "save" and "restore" of virtual machine, is the resume function
below the major function for "restore" or not? could someone give me an
explanation about the workflow about the "save" and "restore"


Thanks in advance

self._constructDomain()
self._storeVmDetails()
self._createDevices()
self._createChannels()
self._storeDomDetails()
self._endRestore()
