# cat /etc/xen/hd_domain
name = "hd_domain"
uuid = "f99fd6b6-1434-4bc2-88e0-1ed9c8c6f8e9"
maxmem = 128
memory = 128
vcpus = 1
kernel = "/tmp/default-xen-kernel"
ramdisk = "/tmp/default-xen-initrd"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "destroy"
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,vnclisten=127.0.0.1,keymap=en-us" ]
disk = [ "file:/tmp/default-xen-dimage,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:11:22:33:44:aa" ]
