So I have an SXCE (Nevada) based paravirtual guest with a UFS root. I
decided to attach another virtual disk to the guest and use LiveUpgrade
to update it to the latest Nevada build. That all went pretty smoothly.
I then tried to luactivate the new boot environment, and then issued an
init 6 to reboot, expecting (or hoping) that it would boot into this new
boot environment.
Unfortunately it did not. I just booted back into the original boot
environment. So I'm looking for tips on how to get Xen to boot the guest
from this new disk.
I think it would probably be pretty painful to just change the disk
definition from xvdc to xvda, since that would effectively change the
device assignment from c0t2d0 to c0t0d0 which will cause problems
finding root and such since vfstab for one has entries for the former.
Is there a magic virsh or xm domain config tweak that I am missing?
I did notice that xm list -l domain didn't show the new disk as
bootable. I don't know whether that is the first problem or not.
Pointers to documentation would be helpful. Thanks.
