If you opt to create a PVHVM or PVM, you must ensure that all
disks that the virtual machine is configured to use are
configured as paravirtual devices, or they may not be recognized
by the virtual machine. If you discover that a disk or virtual
cdrom device is not being recognized by your virtual machine,
you may need to edit the vm.cfg
file for
the virtual machine directly. To do this, determine the UUID of
the virtual machine, and then locate the configuration file in
the repository, for example on an Oracle VM Server:
# vi /OVS/Repositories/UUID
/vm.cfg
Locate each disk
entry that contains a
hardware device such as hda
,
hdb
, or hdc
and replace
with an xvd
mapping, such as
xvda
, xvdb
,
xvdc
etc.
Restart the virtual machine with the new configuration, to check that it is able to discover the disk or virtual cdrom device.
