hullo everybody

Below is my output

# xe vm-list

I can not therefore get the VBD parameters . for the above commands return nothing

# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 1998.2 GB, 1998233534464 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 242938 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 523 4194304 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 523 1045 4194304 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 1045 242938 1943010845+ 8e Linux LVM

How do configure my storage to create a vm -disk, virtual disk image and a virtual block device. Because I would want to attach a boot disk to dom 0 and create a VBD which may be of help to me during booting.

thanx
