Hi,
I create a patch to check the number of vbd for PV domain.
In HVM domain, the virt-install command checks the number of vbd to
avoid mis-input. During HVM domain installation, user cannot specify
4vbd using the virt-install command. However, in PV domain, the
virt-install command does not check the number of vbd. During PV
domain installation, user can specify more than 16vbd and the
following error message is displayed.
xend.err 'Invalid configuration invalid character: code 208'
I think there are two problems. One is that this error message should
be more plain. The other is that the virt-install command should
check the vbd number in PV domain installation.
Thanks,
Shigeki Sakamoto.
