Xen users - Mar 2007 - Full virtualization with physical device

Hello

I am trying to run DomU installed with Sles10 x86 in full virtualization
mode.
I can run it while using VBD disk , however when trying to load  it from
physical device it just hangs.

Here is a samples from the Domain configuration file -

The following configuration works:

name=''vm1''
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
kernel=''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader''
vcpus=2
builder=''hvm''
memory=2048
disk=[''file:/xen_imgs/sles10_x86_vmx.img,ioemu:hda,w'']
stdvga=0
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
...

The following doesn''t:

name=''vm1''
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
kernel=''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader''
vcpus=2
builder=''hvm''
memory=2048
disk=[''phy:vgxen01/lv_vm1_hda,ioemu:hda,w'']
...

I am being prompt that the vm was started but it seem to be hang -

    # xm list
    Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
    Domain-0                           0    14103     4 r-----   536.2
    vm1                                1     2048     1 -b----     0.0

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks Niv

Hi there,

Is there an existing OS installed on the LV you''re trying to use?  Or
are you
trying to install to it?  If there is one, how was it loaded - did you use 
YaST to install it?

Cheers,
Mark

Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!
