Hi,
 Can i add disks to VM online without restarting it.
 If yes then how? Is it via xm tools?
 
 Do i have to do ioscan ? Will block FE support that.

The tools (xm and xend) support runtime adding/removing of devices,
including disks. See 'xm help vbd-create'.
But last time I looked the front-end driver side of this wasn't working for disks.

Hi,

yes, you can.
look at the vbd-create and vbd-destroy subcommand of xm.
