I mis-spoke..

# xm list
Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State   
Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0  3620     4     r-----     30.8
feisty                                     1   384     1     ------      0.0

feisty is not running...  not accruing time and not in a run state.
