Re: [Xen-devel] XCP PV driver



Is the latest GP PV driver, signed and will it install on 2008 without requiring "bcdedit driver signing off"?

GPLPV tells windows that these SCSIOP's are supported (just returns
STATUS_SUCCESS), but they don't actually do anything. As Paul implies
there is no mechanism to pass such a message back to the actual device
(which could just be a file on disk anyway). It doesn't block anything
else from accessing the device.

Maybe you could use iSCSI in the DomU instead?

The XCP PV driver does not like the SCSI Op codes for
RESERVE/RELEASE
and possibly RESET.

I am trying to install Microsoft Failover Clustering on a HVM with
the
XCP PV drivers installed and disk arbitration is broken.

Is there a registry setting or otherwise to enable this behavior?

Or can code be changed to return success if these opcodes are seen
in
the CDB?

I am fairly certain that this will make clustering work and serve as
a
valuable tool to play with clustered Windows configurations.
