In the previous chapter ([[Installing and Configuring Fedora Xen Virtualization]]) we covered the steps necessary to configure the Fedora operating system to act as a Xen host system and created, installed and ran a Xen guest system.
In this chapter we will explore the use of the ''virt-manager'' tool to manager the Xen guest operating systems.
== Starting and Stopping Xen Guest Systems ==
When a Xen guest operating has been configured it will appear in the list of systems when the ''virt-manager'' is loaded. The ''virt-manager'' tool is launched either by selecting the Applications->System Tools->Virtual Machine Manager or from the command-line by running /usr/sbin/virt-manager.
The following screenshot shows the ''virt-manager'' tool running on a Fedora system. It lists two systems - Domain 0 which is the host system, and a guest system named ''XenFed'' which is currently shut down:
