All,
 
I have a SLES10 system with the following volume groups:
 
1) /dev/volgrplinux :
                          logvolroot (lv)
                          logvolswap (lv)
 
2) /dev/volgrpguest :
                           logvol1 (lv)
 
I want to use the logvol1 as a lvm - backed vbd.
 
$ xm create -c xmexample.lvm-vbd
....
......
xvda: Loading dm-mod
unknown partition table
device-mapper: 4.5.0-ioctl (2005-10-04) initialised: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx
Loading dm-snapshot
Waiting for /dev/mapper/control to appear: ok
Loading jbd
Loading ext3
     Unable to find volume group "logvolroot"
 Waiting for device /dev/mapper/volgrplinux-logvolroot to appear: ........ not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
$
 
 
Following is the configuration file:
---------start of config file------------------------------
# Kernel image file and (optional) ramdisk (initrd).
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xenpae"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xenpae"

# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain.
memory = 64

# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name = "ExampleDomain1"

vif = [ '' ]

disk = [ 'phy:volgrpguest/logvol1,volgrplinux/logvolroot,w' ]

#dhcp="dhcp"
# Set netmask.
#netmask=
# Set default gateway.
#gateway=
# Set the hostname.
#hostname= "vm%d" % vmid

# Set root device.
#root = "/dev/hda1 ro"
root = "/dev/mapper/volgrplinux-logvolroot ro"

# Sets runlevel 4.
extra = "4"
----------------end of config file------------------------
 
$ ls -l /dev/mapper
 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 nov 14 18:11 control -> ../device-mapper
brw------- 1 root root 253,2 nov 15 9:59 volgrpguest-logvol1
brw------- 1 root root 253,0 nov 14 18:11 volgrplinux-logvolroot
brw------- 1 root root 253,1 nov 14 18:11 volgrplinux-logvolswap
 
 
 
 
Is there something in the configuration that prevents the logvolroot from being found?
 
Also, are there any additional modules that need to be modprobed (apart from dm-mod and dm-snapshot) when a domU starts up?
 
Please suggest how to fix this.
 
Thanks,
Rajarshi
