Hi YongKang,

Thanks for your help. I did try
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom3_Windows/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w',
'phy:/dev/sde,ioemu:hdb,w', 'phy:/dev/sdf,ioemu:hdc,w',
'phy:/dev/sdg,ioemu:hdd,w', 'phy:/dev/sdh,hde,w' ]

but I still can get only four hard drives in my Windows HVM domain. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Liang

Subject: [Xen-users] Help: Xen HVM Domain can ONLY support four hard
drivesat most???

Hi,

I have 5 SATA hard drives and I want to expose all these five drives to
Windows HVM domain (domain name: w2k3-001) from dom0. Here is the
related
setting in my Windows config file:
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom3_Windows/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w',
'phy:/dev/sde,ioemu:hdb,w', 'phy:/dev/sdf,ioemu:hdc,w',
'phy:/dev/sdg,ioemu:hdd,w', 'phy:/dev/sdh,ioemu:hde,w' ]

When I start Windows domain, I got the following error:
Error: hvm: for qemu vbd type=file&dev=hda~hdd

Em. The error should mean you can only use had~hdd for ioemu. hde+ is for vbd. You can have a try with:
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom3_Windows/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w',
'phy:/dev/sde,ioemu:hdb,w', 'phy:/dev/sdf,ioemu:hdc,w',
'phy:/dev/sdg,ioemu:hdd,w', 'phy:/dev/sdh,hde,w' ]

Well, Windows doesn't support vbd yet. So you can not use more than 4 IDE disks for Windows HVM.

I then changed to the following format:
disk = ['phy:/dev/VG_Dom3_Windows/w2k3-001,hda1,w',
'phy:/dev/sde,hdb1,w',
'phy:/dev/sdf,hdc1,w', 'phy:/dev/sdg,hdd1,w', 'phy:/dev/sdh,hde2,w' ]


This is not a correct usage for HVM. You can only use hda, hdb etc, but not hda1, hdb1 etc.

But the Windows domain console Windows does not show up after I typed "xm
create w2k3.hvm -c" and I also got the following error:

I think your Windows doesn't open serial console output. So don't using "-c". "xm create w2k3.hvm" is okay.

Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康
