Hello Michael,
I've been away, so I'm not back to follow up on this.

I'm exporting a logical volume to the xen vm. This logical volume
is then the disk.
You might want to post you Xen dom-U configuration file to check
back, but I'd
assume that the dom-U can't access /dev/sda the usual way. Maybe Henning
this is in my domU config file for that host:
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'
memory = 2048
name = "shibidp1"
ipadres = "157.193.42.29"
vcpus = 1
disk = ["phy:xenvg/shibidp1,sda,w"]
execfile("/xen/config/xenmachine.py")
(I have attached the xenmachine.py script)
Maybe some more information, because I was misunderstood.
I have create an lvm volume on my dom0 and have exported that volume
as sda to my domU. I want to install that domU with FAI.
(Sprang) can comment on this, he knows a lot more about all the Xen
stuff. The
way I'm using Xen I can't access /dev/sda and consequently cannot do any
partitioning inside dom-U.
I don't understand why this worked with my old fai (setup_harddisks).
And with setup-storage it doesn't.
With setup-storage you can use
disk_config sda virtual
and configure filesystems, etc. for each (existing!)
partition/device. See also
the RAID_XEN_VIRTUAL example that is shipped in disk_config/ as part of the
simple example configuration.
I understand that example is to be used for installing dom0's. Right?
Anyway:
Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/SHIBBOLETH_IDP
Input was:
disk_config sda virtual
primary /boot 200 ext3 rw createopts="-L boot"
primary swap 2048 swap sw createopts="-L swap"
primary / 6000- ext3 rw createopts="-L root"
(CMD) parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print 1> /tmp/KV0IPRnvL2 2> /tmp/kF7tT2dyVN
Executing: parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print
Command parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print had exit code 1
INTERNAL ERROR in setup-storage:

Please report this error to the Debian Bug Tracking System.

I hope Henning can be of assistance...
Thanks in advance,
