Re: [Xen-API] More specific questions about creating a domU via the API

[Tom Wilkie <tom.wilkie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Xend doesn't manage the storage yet, I'm afraid, so it has to be done  
manually.
Once you have created you LVM partition, you need to create (via the  
API) a VDI (virtual disk image) to represent it.  Do this with  
VDI.create(...), an example of the params is in the xenapi_create.py  
file in xm/.
Once you have a VDI, you must create a VBD to attach it to a VM.  You  
VBD.create to do this, again examples in the xenapi_create.py file.
Then, it should work!

Cheers

Tom
