[Xen-users] domU on an external disk

[John Maclean <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I intend to use an external disk for some domUs to take the load of the
main disk on this laptop. pv, vg and lv have been created. How does one
tell xen to use the external disk?

disk = '[phy:/dev/name_of_external_vg/logical_vol,xvda,w] ?


 pvs && vgs && lvs
  PV         VG         Fmt  Attr PSize   PFree  
  /dev/sda6  xen_images lvm2 a-    50.50G  10.50G
  /dev/sdb1  alpha      lvm2 a-   111.79G 101.79G
  VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree  
  alpha        1   2   0 wz--n- 111.79G 101.79G
  xen_images   1   1   0 wz--n-  50.50G  10.50G
  LV           VG         Attr   LSize  Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy% 
  bx-trac      alpha      -wi-a-  5.00G                              
  bx70k-stable alpha      -wi-a-  5.00G                              
  cx           xen_images -wi-a- 40.00G
