Subject: [Xen-users] RE: exporting HVM  physical device

Please help me understand how to properly export the disk to the guest domain given
the following logical setup.

LVM Volume Group
  VolGroup00
      LogVol00                 /                   ext3            74176
      LogVol01                                     swap           1984

Hard Drives
  /dev/sda
      /dev/sda                  /boot              ext3            102
      /dev/sda2                VolGroup00     LVMpv        76215

The following boots the guest but I suspect is incomplete:
disk = [ 'file:/xen/images/RHEL.img,hda,w <file:/xen/images/RHEL.img,hda,w> ', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

question 1: When using virt-install to create a fully virtualized redhat domain, where/how should I specify the location

                 (e.g., /dev/sdaX, /xen/images/file.img, other)?

question 2: What is the proper syntax to export disk in the configuration file given the above?

question 3: How do I access the disk within the domain?

question 4: How do I access the CDROM within the domain?

question 5: Any clue why STARTX results in a partially visible, unusable XTERM? Should QEMU be used instead of VNC?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
