Hi,
Sorry im not quite following. I have just set xvda in my file config
and windows boots ok. I read in another post that using xvda with pv
drivers offers performance increase?
When you say bios emulation, do you mean the hvm loader bios?
Yes i was refering to the bios emulation. But I never ran win2008 with xen.
so my own experience doesnt affect you at all, i think.
Sorry to bother you.
Sincerly

Thanks

Hi,
Im trying to get my head round the use of XVDA in the domU config
files.
Should we be using that or continue to use hda? Is there any
performance increase in using XVDA?
We have a few Windows 2008 HVMs so should we switch the the new disk
config? We are using LVM and file based images by the way.
You will need hda for hvm on dom0 side for the bios emulation. In later
kernels on domU side (2.6.38+) you will need hda on dom0 side (in
xmconfig.cfg) and xvda on domU side (in fstab) or simply uuids to get
along.
That doesnt affect your win2008 HVMs, of course, but as i said, you will
need hda for bios emulation.
