Re: [Xen-users] Importing KVM ivda drives as xdva drives

Namely KVM is using virtio (paravirtualization
driver) for disks which are named as

/dev/vda

for a OS drive. Xen on the another hand is using different naming
convention where the drives inside disk images .img are denoted for
example as

/dev/xvda

You can also use virtio under Xen!

Use the following directive as one line in your xl.cfg (example, please adapt it for your configuration):

device_model_args = [ '-drive' , 'file=/path/to/your/root.img,if=virtio,index=0,media=disk,format=raw,cache=writeback' ]
