[one-users] one and xen block configuration

[Javier Fontan]

Hello,

If you are using OpenNebula 1.4 you can specify disk target as
"ioemu:hda". Also "tap:aio:" method should work with current versions
of Xen, in fact it is recommended method over "file:". That is my
understanding after reading Xen documentation and mailing lists.

Anyway if you really need to use "file:" you can modify the file Neil
pointed out (./src/vmm/XenDriver.cc). Around line 262 you'll find
this:

--8<------
        else
        {
            file << "    'tap:aio:";
        }
------>8--

Change that "tap:aio:" string for "file:" and the line generated
should match the one you've provided. Compiling and copying
src/nebula/oned over your installed version in $ONE_LOCATION/bin
should do the trick without reinstalling.

Bye
