Hi,

I just installed Xen 3.1.4 on an x86_64 machine, and as I verified for the HVM configuration file for my VM e.g.

kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

memory=4188

name='SLC4_64'

vif=[ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0' ]

disk=['phy:/dev/sda6,ioemu:hda,w','file:/usr/local/iso/edgy_amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']

boot='d'

#vcpu=

#cpu=

Q1: I noticed that there is no /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm file for the device_model entry. Why this line is required in the configuration file, and how could I get this qemu-dm file.

Q2: Secondly, in the disk entry: can I use "xvda1" or "xvda2" rather than "ioemu:hda"? Why "ioemu:hda" necessary?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards
--
Omer
