Actually i am still at compilation and building stage of xen 3.3 and
will get back on this.
Currently we are using the patches indicated in my previous post. i
could get the following.
1. I am able to access and see all the disk on SAN in dom0 i.e. cat
/proc/scsi/scsi list all the disk.
2. domU could not able to see that FC HBA driver itself, i will try
with directly assigning the PCI device to domU (HTH)
Front-back arch. could not be the culprit because this arch. is
applicable to dom0 also.
so what i am missing?
thanks
