Thread-topic: Question about duplicating a DomU
I'm using lvm for the DomU devices.

I used virt-install on RHEL5 to install a RHEL5 DomU OS on my first lvm
device /dev/cluster/nfs1. I then created a snapshot of that device and
proceeded to duplicate the snapshot device onto the newly created lvm
device.

lvcreate -s /dev/cluster/nfs1 -L 100M -n nfsX
cat /dev/cluster/nfsX > /dev/cluster/nfs2

I then duplicated and modified the xen config. 

cd /etc/xen/
cp nfs1 nfs2
sed -i '/uuid/ d' nfs2
echo "uuid = '`uuidgen`'" >> nfs2

Changed the disk and mac obviously and noting else in nfs2. Which looks
like this:

        # Automatically generated xen config file
        name = "nfs2"
        memory = "1024"
        disk = [
'phy:/dev/cluster/nfs2,xvda,w','phy:/dev/cluster/shared,sda,w', ]
        vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:14:7c:6e, bridge=xenbr0', ]

        bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
        vcpus=1
        on_reboot   = 'restart'
        on_crash    = 'restart'
        uuid = '685e069c-7fac-460c-8303-26dd26aeeb41'


But when attempting to start both nfs1 and nfs2 I get this. What did I
miss?
