Hi,
I''m running snv_90 and created a Solaris 10 u4 HVM (solarisHVM1) guest
domain. I''m following this procedure to add a block device to my
guest domain:
# xm block-list solarisHVM1
Vdev BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
768 0 0 1 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/9/768
Create the image file
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dom1/disk1.img bs=1024k seek=8192 count=1
Add block device
#xm block-attach solarisHVM1 file:/dom1/disk1.img 2 w
List block devices
#xm block-list solarisHVM1
Vdev BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
768 0 0 1 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/10/768
2 0 0 1 -1 -1 /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/10/2
some output from
#xm list solarisHVM1 -l
(device
(vbd
(uname file:/domains/solarisHVM1/root.img)
(uuid d843dcb0-3a20-ef2d-919d-6247a7a9dd21)
(mode w)
(dev hda:disk)
(backend 0)
(bootable 1)
)
)
(device
(vbd
(uname file:/dom1/disk1.img)
(uuid 6347a698-d345-0dba-709e-5155a0e60c4c)
(mode w)
(dev 2:disk)
(backend 0)
(bootable 0)
)
After running devfsadm in my guest domain, the new device does not show
up
# ls /dev/dsk
c0d0p0 c0d0s1 c0d0s15 c0d0s7 c1t0d0p3 c1t0d0s12

c0d0s0 c0d0s14 c0d0s6 c1t0d0p2 c1t0d0s11 c1t0d0s3
c1t0d0s9
I tried different options, including adding the device while the domain
was down and rebooting the solarisHVM1 domain, but nothing seem to
work. Previous to running snv_90 I was running svn_82 and that I was
being affected by bug 6656611, which was fixed in
snv_85. However, I can not get it to work.
Any ideas,hints, suggestions, or corrections (if I''m doing something
wrong) on how to solve this issue are much appreciated.
Thanks,
