[Xen-devel] [xen-users] does libvirt support VHD disk tpye?
Hi,everyone I am trying to use VHD disk format on guestVM. My environment is fedora12+ xen-4.0.1-rc6 + xen-stable/2.6.32.15+libvirt-0.8.3 I success on booting VM in VHD disk correctly using "xm create VM.cfg" and everything runs alright Where disk = [ "tap2:vhd:/root/tapdisk/vhd-f12,hda,w"] in VM.cfg And "vhd-f12" is a VHD type image file created by vhd-util. However, when I trying to use virsh dumpxml to dump guestVM''s xml file, there''s no any disk information in the xml. On the other hand, I also tried to add the following part into xml manually and then use "virsh create VM.xml" to create guestVM <disk type=''file'' device=''disk''> <driver name=''tap'' type=''vhd''/> <source file=''/root/tapdisk/vhd-f12''/> <target dev=''hda'' bus=''ide''/> </disk> but guestVM can be started without error but guestVM cannot get disk device correctly. If I replace driver name=''tap'' to ''tap2'', libvirt raise error: (xend.err ''Error creating domain: Block device type "tap2" is invalid.'') Is anyone has idea how can I enable vhd format using libvirt? Thank very much!
