xm calling methods methods.
Starts domain with $domain_name. If the domain is hibernated the the function calls restore otherwise $self->xm('create', $domain_name.'.cfg').
Returns an array of Xen::Domain objects representing curently running Xen machines.
Hibernate domain named $domain_name. If the name is is not set - undef, will hibernate all domains.
Wakeup hibernated domain named $domain_name. If the name is is not set - undef, will wakeup all hibernated domains.
Shutdown domain named $domain_name. If the name is is not set - undef, will shutdown all domains.
Execute $self->xm_cmd with @args and return the output. Dies if the execution fails.

Other object methods, mostly for internal usage.
Object constructor.
Returns filename with path of the $domain_name domain.
Search through $self->hibernation_folder for files that end up with .xen extension and return their names without the extension. So the return value is an array of hibernated domain names.
