fucking BS about toolsets: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Choice_of_Toolstacks
XAPI is NOW XCP. they use XE command from userlund.
libxenlight REPLACES XEND: thus, NO more xm command but XL command.
Then there is libvirt - which uses amongst others, virtsh in userlund by default and now uses libxenlight to talk to XEN hypervisor.
w/ the new management API ... tools are stateless. i.e. XL can't see stuff done by libvirt (virsh)...and vice versa.
GIven that the GUI tools are complicated ... i'm using XL only.
refer to XEN Tools page <here>

start - tries to auto connect to local QEMU-KVM ... cancel all this.
create new connection - add 192.168.1.104 + root + passwd (had to change as it didn't like some characters).
On the desktop
/etc/init.d/libvirtd start
rc-update add libvirtd
rc-update /// checks status.
now can connect to remote virtd (on dharra) for the local PC...
now to learn how libvirt can be used to configure storage pools etc.
