Description
Even though it is not the default, it is still possible to use xm as toolstack in Xen. The correct toolstack is defined in /etc/default/xen
When a different toolstack is configured than what OpenNebula assumes, errors happen because commands return with: ERROR: A different toolstack (xl) have been selected!

Can this be fixed using xen3 drivers? The name may be misleading but the difference is that xen3 uses xm and xen4 uses xl. We've tested hosts with Xen 4.x and xm tools using xen3 drivers.
Maybe the name should be xen-xm and xen-xl.

It probably can be fixed like that... however, if that is the only difference, there is no use in having 2 different xen drivers and they should just autoselect the toolstack just as xen does (xen-toolstack command or so).
In my case, since we are upgrading xen and eventually switching from XM to XL, it's easier to assume opennebula will just select the right one...

We are going to deprecate Xen 3 drivers (xm) in 5.0 release so we think it's better not to change the code of the drivers. When the nodes get upgraded the driver can be reconfigured in oned.conf keeping the same name. This way the hosts don't need to be edited.
If you're doing the migration host by host you can copy the files from xen3 drivers to xen4 and only update the nodes using xl.
