- <h1>libxl hypervisor driver for Xen</h1>
-
- <ul id="toc"></ul>
-
- <p>
- The libvirt libxl driver provides the ability to manage virtual
- machines on any Xen release from 4.6.0 onwards.
- </p>
-
- <h2><a id="project">Project Links</a></h2>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- The <a href="https://www.xenproject.org">Xen</a>
- hypervisor on Linux and Solaris hosts
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <h2><a id="prereq">Deployment pre-requisites</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- The libvirt libxl driver uses Xen's libxl API, also known as
- libxenlight, to implement libvirt's hypervisor driver
- functionality. libxl provides a consolidated interface for
- managing a Xen host and its virtual machines, unlike old
- versions of Xen where applications often had to communicate
- with xend, xenstored, and the hypervisor itself via hypercalls.
- With libxl the only pre-requisit is a properly installed Xen
- host with the libxl toolstack running in a service domain
- (often Domain-0).
- </p>
-
- <h2><a id="uri">Connections to libxl driver</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- The libvirt libxl driver is a single-instance privileged driver,
- with a driver name of 'xen'. Some example connection URIs for
- the libxl driver are:
- </p>
-
-<pre>
-xen:///system (local access, direct)
-xen+unix:///system (local access, via daemon)
-xen://example.com/system (remote access, TLS/x509)
-xen+tcp://example.com/system (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
-xen+ssh://root@example.com/system (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
-</pre>
-
-
- <h2><a id="configFiles">Location of configuration files</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- The libxl driver comes with sane default values. However, during its
- initialization it reads a configuration file which offers system
- administrator to override some of that default. The file is located
- under <code>/etc/libvirt/libxl.conf</code>
- </p>
-
-
- <h2><a id="imex">Import and export of libvirt domain XML configs</a></h2>
-
- <p>
- The libxl driver currently supports three native
- config formats. The first, known as <code>xen-xm</code>, is the
- original Xen virtual machine config format used by the legacy
- xm/xend toolstack. The second, known as <code>xen-sxpr</code>,
- is also one of the original formats that was used by xend's
- legacy HTTP RPC service (<span class='removed'>removed in 5.6.0</span>)
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The third format is <code>xen-xl</code>, which is the virtual
- machine config format supported by modern Xen. The <code>xen-xl</code>
- format is described in the xl.cfg(5) man page.
- </p>
-
- <h3><a id="xmlimport">Converting from XM config files to domain XML</a></h3>
-
- <p>
- The <code>virsh domxml-from-native</code> provides a way to convert an
- existing set of xl, xm, or sxpr config files to libvirt Domain XML,
- which can then be used by libvirt.

+
+Connections to libxl driver
+---------------------------
+
+The libvirt libxl driver is a single-instance privileged driver, with a driver
+name of 'xen'. Some example connection URIs for the libxl driver are:
+
+::
+
+ xen:///system (local access, direct)

+page.

+
+The ``virsh domxml-from-native`` provides a way to convert an existing set of
+xl, xm, or sxpr config files to libvirt Domain XML, which can then be used by
+libvirt.

+
+Pass-through of arbitrary command-line arguments to the qemu device model
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+:since:`Since 6.7.0` , the Xen driver supports passing arbitrary command-line
+arguments to the qemu device model used by Xen with the ``<xen:commandline>``
+element under ``domain``. In order to use command-line pass-through, an XML
+namespace request must be issued that pulls in
+``http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/xen/1.0``. With the namespace in place, it
+is then possible to add ``<xen:arg>``\ sub-elements to ``<xen:commandline>``
+describing each argument passed to the device model when starting the domain.
+
+The following example illustrates passing arguments to the QEMU device model
+that define a floppy drive, which Xen does not support through its public APIs:
+
+::
+
+ <domain type="xen" xmlns:xen="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/xen/1.0">
+ ...
+ <xen:commandline>
+ <xen:arg value='-drive'/>
+ <xen:arg value='file=/path/to/image,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-fdc0-0-0'/>
+ <xen:arg value='-global'/>
+ <xen:arg value='isa-fdc.driveA=drive-fdc0-0-0'/>
+ </xen:commandline>
+ </domain>
+

+details of the available options, consult the `domain XML
