Re: [Xen-users] [Xen-devel] Disk add fails while domain creation, which uses disk backend- "storage driver domain" with xen-4.3.0 , with errors libxl.c:2125

Hi,

Yes, I also tried with- backendtype=phy

disk = 
['access=w,backendtype=phy,backend=storage,vdev=xvda1,target=/root/domsi.img']

Got this log on console-
