Well, I haven’t tried, and this may be bad
advice, but what about a hardlink?

Dustin,
Yes I had. Replacing the image path in the configuration did make it work
and I knew this before posting. I guess my question was a bit simple.
I should have asked has anyone done this and had it work for them.
Thanks for your response.

I don’t know ,but since no one has replied, have you tried using the true path
instead of the local one for testing? Simply modifying the config to replace
/home/fred/ with /var/ would answer that, right?

Subject: [Xen-users] Xm Create Image Path
All,
Is is possible for xm create foo.cfg to traverse a symlink to access the
foo.img. Here’s an example config and the resulting error..
---
name = "jim"
memory = "512"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/foo,xvda,r',
'tap:aio:/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo_swap.img,xvdd,w',
'tap:aio:/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo.img,xvdb,w'
]
vif = ['bridge=xenbr0']
bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
---
sudo xm create build/jim.cfg
Using config file "./build/jim.cfg".
Error: Device 51728 (tap) could not be connected.
/home/fred/local/jim/build/foo_swap.img does not exist.
The symlink is local which points to /var/local
local -> /var/local/
