Hi Yongkang,

Thank you for reply.

There is a problem when hdN and xvdN are specified at the same time.
Because the patch has already been applied, the hot fix is sent by the addition.

It corrects as follows.
- Whether hdN is defined first is checked.
- If hdN is defined, xvdN is not replaced with hdN.

I will make the hot fix of the addition and contribute to the community.

Best Regards,

Hi Kasai,

It seems there is a bug caused by this patch.
If providing both hda and xvda, there would be two hda devices given to Qemu. And the image of xvda would be recover the real hda. If xvda doesn't include booting system, HVM booting failed. So how about have a little modify? If there is a hdx device, don't translate xvdx to related hdx.

Best Regards,
Yongkang You

Hi All,

I sent the patch to make blktap work with PV-on-HVM.
I corrected the part that had been pointed out in the Xen community.

・All xvdN disk is looked like hdN.
・All tap disks are checked.(tap:aio, tap:sync, tap:vmdk, etc.)

We cannot use blktap for the volume of the system with PV-on-HVM
and are embarrassed.
Could you apply this patch? Or, please give the comment to me.

Hi All,

I sent the patch to make blktap work with PV-on-HVM.
For system volume to boot hda or xvda,
I corrected the patch.

Signed-off-by: Takanori Kasai <kasai.takanori@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch made it possible to use either.

disk = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/test/rhel5ga_full.img,hda,w' ]
or
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/test/rhel5ga_full.img,xvda,w' ]

It is assumed that hda is a volume of the system
if both xvda and hda are specified.

disk = [ 'file:/xen/test/rhel5ga_full.img,hda,w',
        'tap:aio:/xen/test/drive2.img,xvda,w' ]

systemvolume for PV-on-HVM


Hi All,

We were testing the PV driver on the HVM domain.
When blktap was booting system volume, PV-on-HVM domain was
not able to be
started.

The configuration file is specified as follows.
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/xen/test/rhel5ga_full.img,hda,w' ]

The error occurred by the initialization of system volume
in qemu-dm.

qemu: could not open hard disk image
'aio:/xen/test/rhel5ga_full.img'

It is because "aio:" is added to the head of params in xenstore.
However, qemu-dm open device by params.

This patch corrected the problem of params on the qemu-dm.
