Yes. It defines what block device (e.g. /dev/xvda) the disk appears as
in the guest. In the common case, it literally encodes the Linux
major/minor numbers. So xvda (major 202) is 0xca00, xvdb is 0xca10 etc.
Previously we had to explicitly set it for each disk in Qemu:
-drive file=disk1.img,id=drv1 -device xen-disk,drive=drv1,vdev=xvda
-drive file=disk2.img,id=drv2 -device xen-disk,drive=drv2,vdev=xvdb
Now we can just do
-drive file=disk1.img,if=xen -drive file-disk2.img,if=xen
(We could go further and make if=xen the default for Xen guests too,
but that doesn't work right now because xen-block will barf on the
default provided CD-ROM when it's empty. It doesn't handle empty
devices. And if I work around that, then `-hda disk1.img` would work on
the command line... but would make it appear as /dev/xvda instead of
/dev/hda, and I don't know how I feel about that.)
[root@localhost ~]# xenstore-ls -f device/vbd
device/vbd = ""
device/vbd/51712 = ""
device/vbd/51712/backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/qdisk/1/51712"
