RE: [Xen-users] Paravirt VM - Second Disk not working

["Robert Dunkley" <Robert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Fajar,


Thanks for the reply.

I'm actually using DRBD along with Jefferson Ogata's wrapper here:
http://www.antibozo.net/xen/qemu-dm.drbd

The wrapper does change both DRBD resources (DRBD22 and DRBD23) to
primary when you start the VM but the second disk never turns up in xm
top and VM complains of a timeout as stated below. 

I found removing the second disk from the VM config file and adding it
manually with hotplug immediately after starting the VM works, eg::
xm create vmname
drbdadm primary xendrbd23
xm block-attach vmname phy:/dev/drbd23 /dev/xvdb 'w'

You're using drbd? Is /dev/drbd23 primary on that node? Is it
accessible from dom0 (e.g. using fdisk, mount, etc.)?
