Thanks for the pointer Fajar...I got engrossed in the problem and
neglected important details.

1.Im guessing LVM on domO.(Newbie alert!) I installed the PV domU disks
through a network tree install, on hosts' local storage first and then
moved the image to the shared iscsi storage.(probably a hard way to do it
but made sense at the time).

2. I used a cp command to move from local to shared storage.

3. The domU images are exported as type=fileio and I notice in my domU
config files the disk parameter is indeed a phy:/

All the PV domUs are CentOS 5.6/7 and are working fine on shared storage
but the HVM guests (turnkey appliances and Windows) cannot boot with the
below mentioned error.

Thanks.
Phillip.
