Xen users - Oct 2007 - How can I use a relative path in my domain config?

Hi,

how can i use a relative path in a xen domain config?

I tried a path relative to the config file, e. g.

disk = [ ''file:images/win_xp_hd.disk,hda,w'', 
''file:images/isowin,hdb:cdrom,r'',
''file:images/new.iso,hdd:cdrom,r'',
''file:images/hda.raw,hdc,w'']

without success.

I tried also a path relative to /var/lib/xen/images and /var/lib/xen and 
nothing worked for me.

How can I use relative paths?

Regards,
Andreas

only for physical devices, as i know. Why do you need a relative path?

in that case, you have maybe the chance, to use variables. For example:

disk = [ ''file:$XENIMAGES/images/win_xp_hd.disk,hda,w'',
''file:$XENIMAGES/images/isowin,hdb:cdrom,r'',
''file:$XENIMAGES/images/new.iso,hdd:cdrom,r'',
''file:$XENIMAGES/images/hda.raw,hdc,w'']

Use a wrapper to create the guests and export the new $XENIMAGES/ variable.

i never tried it, but ... :-)
