When I try adding a second disk to an HVM domU, I get this when I try to boot: Error: Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found. The backend device DOES exist. I''d like to use separate ZFS volumes for the boot disk and data disk on a Windows HVM so I can manage snapshots of either one independently. Is there a limitation on HVM guests to only use a single disk? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Assuming it''s a file, maybe you need to make it writable world-wide... Max
An upgrade to nv101 seems to have solved my problem. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
