Is there a way for me to mount a Xen LVM that I have setup with a virtual machine installed on it? --- Chris Edwards Smartech Corp.

2008/8/18 Chris Edwards <cedwards@smartechcorp.net>:> Is there a way for me to mount a Xen LVM that I have setup with a virtual machine installed on it?Do you mean you want to temporarily mount the domU''s disk (LV) on the dom0 while the domU is stopped? In which case, look at "kpartx" which can create /dev/mapper devices for each partition within the LV You can stack LVs if you happen to use LVM inside the domU too but you''ll need to do a "vgscan" and "vgchange -ay" to find and activate the nested VG after the device is created for it before you can access the LVs within it. Or perhaps you mean something different? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
What other responders have said should cover everything but the specific procedure will depend on the distribution and the nature of the upgrade... It also varies a bit depending on what kind (PV or HVM) guest you are running. If you still need help then you should post some more information about your setup.

Ok. I have tried various methos described on WWW, but none of them worked. I am trying to upgrade a Paravirtulized guest. I have read mixed posts telling you can and cannot upgrade PV guest.

2008/9/2 mantra UNIX <unix.mantra@gmail.com>:> Were you able to attach CD/DVD to the PV guest to perfrom the upgrade ? If > so can you list the configs and the steps that were involved in the process.You can dynamically (and temporarily) add one using xm, no need to change the config unless you want the CD drive to be attached permanently. Usage: xm block-attach <Domain> <BackDev> <FrontDev> <Mode> [BackDomain] e.g. xm block-attach domu1 /dev/cdrom /dev/xvda r or if you use virt-manager you can do it through the GUI. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
