[xen-tools-discuss] Re: Using AoE storage

[Mike Bailey]

I've been playing with live migration over the last week. So far I've been
able to use one partition with a single volume group on it to hold all
domU's .
sudo apt-get install aoetools lvm2
pvcreate /dev/etherd/e1.1
vgcreate /dev/etherd/e1.1 xendisks

Then in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf specify:

lvm = xendisks
