Re: [Xen-users] LVM backed domu with lvm inside

I have separate LVs on dom0 for each volume on the domU and then have extra fields in the virtual disks definition in the XEN config file. For example:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/iscsi_path1/myhost_root,sda1,w', 'phy:/dev/vg0/ myhost_swap,sda2,w', 'phy:/dev/iscsi_path2/myhost_opt,sda3,w' ]

On the domU host - sda1 is for /, sda2 is for swap, and sda3 is for / opt.

Regards,

Wayne

Can you describe the saber approach you now use?

G'day,

What you want to do is indeed possible - I've done it in the past. At the time I thought it sounded like a good idea, but I've long since reverted to a saner approach for my custom built XEN environment.

I think the RedHat distributed XEN works along a similar path to what you are trying to achieve.

Wayne

Hello,

I have a xen box that has a lvm for each of the domU's. I would like to be able to create a vg inside of my domu and put the individual filesystems of the domU on the lv's inside the vg on the domU.

Is this even possible? Has anybody done something similar and have any notes that they took?


Thanks for any clue,

Jon
