Hi,

I have problems setting up san volumes in a xen guest.

We are running the xen on opensolaris SunOS node2 5.11 snv_127 i86pc i386
i86xpv.
The Xen guest itself is Solaris 10: SunOS pgbackup 5.10 Generic_141445-09
i86pc i386 i86pc

In the past we were running an older solaris version with solaris zones on:
SunOS node138 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
here new san volumes we automaticly detected and I simply used zpool to
create the zpools.

Now with opensolaris+xen and solaris sol10u8x86 in the xen guest I am
experiencing the following behaviors/problems:
1. i am not able to create zpools on a fresh create volume. i have to run
devfsadm first. this is not too bad and deterministic.
2. i am not able to create a zpool in the xen guest. before i treid this i
run 'devfsadm -c disk'
3. when i create a zpool on another machine with an older solaris 10
release, i am sometimes able to import that pool. but this is not always the
case.
