I have a system with two harddisks, i wanted to use the simplicity of ZFS for my file server and i also need to run a linux. I choosed XEN virtualization for that, supported on both system.

My GRUB is well configured and i can boot both system.

I would like is to run both system with solaris as a dom0 and the debian installed on the 2nd HD as a virtual machine.

My problem is that i want to use the partitions of my 1st harddisk (sda1 under linux) and it does not work. I didn't find my use case on the web-

Here is my Opensolaris device name of this partition : /dev/rdsk/c7d0p1 But when i use : disk = [ 'phy:rdsk/c7d0p1,sda1,w' ] as a disk mapping in my XEN configuration file i have the error :

Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. error: "rdsk/c7d0p1" is not a valid block device.

I am "lost".
