Hi all

When I have a domU that resides in the auto directory I get 'Error: Device 
2049 (vbd) could not be connected' and the domain starts in a paused mode. 
 Shutting it down and restarting has the same effect.  Following is some 
output from the xm log and an attempted restart.

Directly after dom0 reboot:

xen0:/etc/xen/scripts # xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      251     4 r-----   329.4
xen0vm0-64                         4      256     1 --p---     0.0?


>From the logs after dom0 reboot:

Device /dev/xensan/xenvm1-64 is mounted in a guest domain,
and so cannot be mounted now.

And an attempt at shutting down the domU and restarting:

xen0:/etc/xen/scripts # xm shutdown xen0vm0-64
xen0:/etc/xen/scripts # xm list

Using config file "../auto/xen0vm0-64".

xen0:/etc/xen/scripts # 

The system setup
OS: xen0:~ # SPident
CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
  found    SLES-9-x86_64-SP3 + "online updates"
Hardware: Sun V20z, dual cpu AMD64
The virtual machine resides on EMC San space setup with LVM (/dev/sdc 
setup as volume group /dev/xensan)

I've tried various settings in the /etc/sysconfig/xendomains file but 
without any luck.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction to getting this resolved?
