yes i am using same template like KVM but it is not working, seems ESX driver has a different XML structure since it is using datatstore /dir/filename.vdk structure.

so any idea what is the XML structure for creating the XML for volumes using the ESX driver?

Hi Sherif,

In theory, it's probably supposed to work with the "standard" storage and pool XML format documented here:

http://libvirt.org/formatstorage.html

But, it sounds like in practise that's not working for you. Is that the case?
