(Again, this was previously posted to xen-api, but I got no answer. Are any developers lurking there?) Hello, I can''t create a new VM with a common vbd in R/W mode with another VM using the XenAPI. I always get: VmError: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Device /dev/bit/xentmp2 is mounted in a guest domain, and so cannot be mounted now. I make sure to have the device sharable when creating the VDI. And it works as long as I only attach in mode RO. Is there anything I might be missing? xm also can''t create a rw share, the vbd ends up ro in both vbds, if I define the vbd as: phy:bit/xentmp,hda1,w! The VDI is configured as follows (I even tried creating a different VDI for each VBD): <?xml version=''1.0''?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value><struct> <member> <name>Status</name> <value><string>Success</string></value> </member> <member> <name>Value</name> <value><struct> <member> <name>read_only</name> <value><boolean>0</boolean></value> </member> <member> <name>VBDs</name> <value><array><data> <value><string>d954bfae-a878-3f65-4a73-b71aebc1c434</string></value> </data></array></value> </member> <member> <name>sharable</name> <value><boolean>1</boolean></value> </member> <member> <name>uuid</name> <value><string>9fd3fcd1-0fe9-c872-f7a4-3be3069017b4</string></value> </member> <member> <name>SR</name> <value><string>2b793262-cc99-ded9-42ba-6fe4683eeeb1</string></value> </member> <member> <name>other_config</name> <value><struct> <member> <name>location</name> <value><string>phy:bit/xentmp2</string></value> </member> </struct></value> </member> <member> <name>name_label</name> <value><string>phy:bit/xentmp2</string></value> </member> <member> <name>physical_utilisation</name> <value><string>0</string></value> </member> <member> <name>name_description</name> <value><string> </string></value> </member> <member> <name>virtual_size</name> <value><string>0</string></value> </member> <member> <name>type</name> <value><string>system</string></value> </member> </struct></value> </member> </struct></value> </param> </params> </methodResponse> -- lfr 0/0 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
