Xen users - Feb 2008 - Adding a new Hard Drive on Xen VMs

I am running Xen VMs and recently I needed more disk space for one of the
VMs. I am not sure if it is possible to add a new (physical) Hard Drive and
the Xen VM talk to it. Has any body have any experiences with it. I would
appreciate it.

Hi,

 

All you need to do is make a partition on that hard drive and edit the
configuration file of the VM in /etc/xen/ It should say something like:

 

disk = [''phy:/dev/sdb1,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/sdc1,hdb,w'']

 

Where /dev/sdc1 is the partition on your new hard drive. Reboot the VM and
it will be available
