Windows queries every scsi address on the scsiport driver, and xenvbd tells it that there is a single disk there. Windows then provides a driver for the disk that it finds. I hope that makes some sense :) James _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
