Hi,

I have problems setting up san volumes in a xen guest.

We are running the xen on opensolaris SunOS node2 5.11 snv_127 i86pc i386 i86xpv. The Xen guest itself is Solaris 10: SunOS pgbackup 5.10 Generic_141445-09 i86pc i386 i86pc

In the past we were running an older solaris version with solaris zones on: SunOS node138 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc here new san volumes we automaticly detected and I simply used zpool to create the zpools.

Now with opensolaris+xen and solaris sol10u8x86 in the xen guest I am experiencing the following behaviors/problems: 1. i am not able to create zpools on a fresh create volume. i have to run devfsadm first. this is not too bad and deterministic. 2. i am not able to create a zpool in the xen guest. before i treid this i run 'devfsadm -c disk' 3. when i create a zpool on another machine with an older solaris 10 release, i am sometimes able to import that pool. but this is not always the case.

Can you try using p0 to give the entire disk to the guest?
  e.g. c0t*d0p0

virsh attach-disk pgbackup /dev/dsk/c0t600A0B800029D69A000014BF4B2042C3d0p0 hdb


Thanks,
