Hi Ian,

As per http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.6-testing/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt 
the disk specification conforms to:

        disk = [ '/dev/vg/guest-volume,,hda', '/root/image.iso,,hdc,cdrom' ]

Is there any additional information you need to replicate this issue?

Best regards,

Alex

Not sure what is going on but I just wanted to mention that phy: etc
prefixes are considered legacy. See http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/4.6-testing
/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt for the actual syntax and how phy: is
mapped.

Ian.
