Re: [Xen-devel] exception looking up device number for hda

I was looking for suggestions as to how:

b) VBD based devices for VMX domains should be configured


Ah, I guess we have to distinguish the two...

Hope about an optional: vbd:/emu: prefix (or similar) on the second part of the triplet for a disk? The default (for non VMX domains) could be "vbd" so existing behaviour would remain the same.

Sounds good to me. How about:

hda             = VBD hda
vbd://hda       = VBD hda
ioemu://hda     = IDE hda

The VBD patches are not ready yet - so I'd like to propose that we do:

-            self.create_configured_devices()
+           if self.image.ostype != 'vmx':
+                self.create_configured_devices()

and

-        self.create_blkif()
+       if self.image.ostype != 'vmx':
+            self.create_blkif()

When our VBD patches are ready, we'll revert this.
