This doesn't seem to work presently. When I bring up the 'second' machine in the cluster, I get :
qa-host:/etc/xen/auto# xm create xm-manager
Using config file "xm-manager".
Error: Error creating domain: vbd: Segment not found: uname=file:/export/vm/vm-usrlocal
Could you please include your config file "xm-manager", or at least the
vbd-related sections of it?

Thank you for replying so quickly. Attached are the config files for xm-manager and xm-vm1. In case I was not clear, before, I can start xm-manager when xm-vm1 is down, but then I can nolonger start xm-vm1 - it dies with the same error above.


Again - thanks.
