The problem here is the different "implementations" that exist:
- Xen (install and configure yourself, toolset: 'xl' , 'xm' is deprecated)
- Citrix and XCP (pre-configured, install on dedicated server, toolset: 'xcp')
- OVM (Oracle's implementation, not sure which toolset they use)

What doesn't work with this?
The following seems quite detailed:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_power_management

And the commands listed there (for the hypervisor based option) work on my 
server.

In what way doesn't it work?
The clocks are all synchronized and I don't need to use anything like 'ntpd'
