Installed Alpine 2.6.3 sys to use it as a Xen host

Followed this wiki to install Xen Dom0 http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Xen_Dom0
Everything works upto this part:

rc-update add xencommons

with error:

rc-update: service 'xencommons' does not exist

Searched around for xencommons - not sure exactly what this is. Tried:

apk add xencommon

ERROR: 1 unsatisfiable dependencies
world: xencommons

The boot loader already has en entry for Xen. After login it says:

OpenRC 0.11.8.73d56a6 is starting up Linux 3.10.5-1-grsec (x86_64) [XENU]

So I assume I am logged into a Xen kernel but can't load xl list

libxl: error: libxl.c:87:libxl_ctx_alloc: Is xenstore daemon running?

As a guees I tried xenstored but that gives error

xc: error: Could not obtain a handle or priveledged command interface (2 = No such file or directory): Internal error

Any ideas to get xl list and rc-update add xencommons working?

Finally I tried apk cache sync but that errors with ERROR: Package cache is not installed

Thankyou.

I think, xencommons is old and you don't need it anymore. Someone should check the wiki. Sorry for that.

OK no problem. Do you know what steps I'm missing to get xl list working? I followed the wiki article.

#xl list
libxl: error: libxl.c:87:libxl_ctx_alloc: Is xenstore daemon running?

Thankyou.

Could you please try running "setup-xen-dom0"?
