Re: [Xen-users] Limited number of phy disks?

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I assume you're running as an HVM?  What version of Xen are you using?  As far as I know, Xen only support IDE drives in HVM domUs, and it only supports a total of four drives - hda, hdb, hdc, and hdd.

In my experiments with setting up a NAS as a VM, I can only successfully
import three drives; the root drive, the cd and one more. However, I have
plenty that I want to use:

disk=['file:/vserver/vm_disks/Patch.disk.xm,hda,w',
'phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hdd,w', 'phy:/dev/sdb,ioemu:hde,w',
'phy:sdc,ioemu:hdf,w', 'phy:sdd,ioemu:hdg,w', 'phy:sdg,ioemu:hdh,w',
'phy:sdh,ioemu:hdi,w',
'file:/vserver/FreeNAS-amd64-LiveCD-0.69RC2.4083.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']

I have tried both with and without "ioemu" and changing the order does not
make any significant difference.

Pointers anyone?

Thanks,
/Chris
