I am attempting to start a new domU using this command as root: virsh create <xml_file>

I am seeing the following error:

libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err "Error creating domain: Disk isn't accessible")
error: Failed to create domain from /root/xvmfiles/abc-1.0.xml

The XML file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><domain type="xen">
    <name>abc-1.0</name>
    <uuid>46606550-882c-42ff-9911-15c9a89185db</uuid>

            <target dev="xvda"/>
        </disk>
    </devices>
</domain>

I have vdisk files for the domU (vdisk.vmdk and vdisk.xml) in the directory /root/xvmfiles/abc-1.0, and these files have 755 permissions. I am doing this on a Solaris system, here's the output from uname -a:

SunOS lm1-dom0 5.11 snv_111a i86pc i386 i86xpv


Can anyone comment as to what my error may be? Thanks in advance for your help.


/root/xmvfiles should have r/w privs for user xvm... Do you
have that?
