I use the following and it works fine in Windows (native, VTX enabled), I see the LVM that I'm passing as a raw hard disk, which I formatted and continue to use.

builder='hvm'
memory = '384'
name = "win2k31"
vcpus=1
pae=0
acpi=0
apic=0
cpus = ""
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0',
        'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr1' ]
disk = [ 'file:/root/windisk/win2k31.img,ioemu:hda,w',
         'phy:/dev/sda3,ioemu:hdb,w' ]

on_reboot   = 'destroy'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom='/root/windisk/win2k31.iso'
boot='c'
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0

Hi, guys.

I'm trying to use physical disks as virtual disks in HVM domains.
But I couldn't.

I'm using cs10508 of xen-unstable.hg.

When I use
disk = [ 'phy:sda5,ioemu:hda,w' ]
in conf file, creating HVM domain says, I need to use 'file' modifier if
I use 'ioemu'.
So, I changed it to
disk = [ 'phy:sda5,hda,w' ].

But HVM window doesn't pop up.

Did you guys solve this problem?
Can't I use physical disk partitions for virtual disks?

Thank you in advance.
