Folks --

I'm walking through all the Xen Python code and driver code to determine how to build a custom back-end/front-end driver pair. I'm not using any of the existing transport types (blkif, netif, etc.). So, I need to start from scratch supporting configuration file elements in Xen down to the drivers in the kernel.

If there are any good pointers as to how to build something new from the ground up within the framework of the existing Xen Daemon and be-fe pairing, I'd really like to read it.

No. It has changed too many times (although it's probably stable enough now to document).

In principle, once you have bring up working, making it work in Xend isn't so bad. Do you have specific questions or are you just looking for a where to begin?

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
