Hi,

''xm help vbd-create'' outputs:

vbd-create DOM UNAME DEV MODE [BACKEND]

Create a virtual block device for a domain.

  UNAME   - device to export, e.g. phy:hda2
  DEV     - device name in the domain, e.g. sda1
  MODE    - access mode: r for read, w for read-write
  BACKEND - backend driver domain

So I guess it would be

xm vbd-create YourDomain phy:hda2 sda1 w

or whatever your physical devices and your target virtual devices are.
I don''t know about BACKEND. Could be that this is fo rsharing with
direct disk access.

Regards, Andreas
