register new block device script

register new block device script

Hi all,

I'd like to develop a new script for block-devices. 
Where do I have to register it?

It's for DRBD block devices. It's called 'block-drbd' .
I tried the following steps:

1) copy it in /etc/xen/scripts
2) register it in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp :
    # Setup script for drbd block devices
    (block-drbd block-drbd)
3) use it in a domU config file:
    ...
    disk = [ 'drbd:drbd0,hda1,w' ]
    ...

So far, it doesn't work.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thx,

Mike

What version of Xen is this?  For Xen 2.0, that looks correct.  Xen 3.0 does 
things differently and I don't know if it needs anything else (like, possibly 
extra hotplug rules???).

Just a silly question: did you chmod +x the script?

Cheers,
Mark

There's no need to do this.  This is out-of-date stuff from the pre-hotplug
days.  I removed these examples last week, in fact, so you may want to update
your config file.

These scripts are now called by the hotplug/udev infrastructure.  There should
be no need to register the script as such -- xen-backend.agent should be
called by udev, and then that will call /etc/xen/scripts/block, which in turn
will call /etc/xen/scripts/block-drdb.

Have a look in your syslog files (particularly the debug level one,
e.g. /var/log/debug) and maybe add some tracing to those files, to see where
it gets stuck.

You might also want to try

PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python python /usr/lib/python/xen/util/diagnose.py <dom>

which at least will tell you whether the store entries for the device have
been created correctly.

Cheers,

Ewan.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention. Yes, it's for Xen 2.0.7.

Hm, strange. I rechecked everything including execution permissions for the 
script. Now it works fine. Thought it wasn't called, but I guess there was a 
problem with drbd.

Thanks, regards

Mike

The hotplug/udev infrastructure support is for Xen 3.0, right? Because I 
downloaded the latest sources of Xen-stable last week.

After rechecking all of my steps, it finally works fine :)

Regards,

Mike
