SLES 11 MN and VM xCAT-2.9.1 x86_64 KVM
I am in the process of converting from a LVM backed storage solution for VMs to a raw file for disk housed in a GPFS cell. The design has the hypervisors seeing gpfs as local storage, and when I add a single raw image file and start the VM with it, everythign works fine. The problem is, several of these VMs have two or three logical volumes presented as disks, sd[abc]. When I attempt to convert the second lv to a file, the conversion works fine, but I'm missing the proper syntax to add it to the vmstorage object: vmstorage=/gpfs/root/z10071_rootvg.img|r/gpfs/app/z10071_appvg.img When attempting to power up, I receive this message: z10000:~ # rpower z10071 on z10071: Error: internal error Only 1 ide controller is supported If I try to set the vmstoragemodel to scsi, xCAT will boot the VM but the VM cannot find it's root disk. If I revert to a single disk and remove vmstoragemodel I can successfully power on and boot into OS. So how to I add more than one image file as a disk? (Yes, I know, should be using virtio disks, these are legacy machines, newer VMs will hopefully be using it) _________________________________ Douglas Myers, IBM Special Events - Smart Cloud BMS Lead _________________________________ "It's not an opportunity if it doesn't scare you a little bit"
