Hi,

I realized that the xl tool allows to create multiple domains with the 
same name:
# xl create ttylinux.xl
# xl create ttylinux.xl
# xl list
Name                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                     0  5498     4     r-----    1647.8
TTYLinux-NUMA               22  2043     4     -b----      29.9
TTYLinux-NUMA               23  2043     4     r-----      21.3
xm only shows one domain, it also refuses to start another instance (in 
opposite to xl)
# xm list
Name                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                     0  5498     4     r-----   1665.0
TTYLinux-NUMA               22  2043     4     -b----    133.1
# xm create ttylinux.xl
Using config file "./ttylinux.xm".
Error: Domain 'TTYLinux-NUMA' already exists with ID '22'

Is the xl behavior intended or just a bug?

Regards,
Andre.
