I am slightly lost trying to attach some storage to a functioning virtual machine. If this where a real machine, I would simply be trying to mount a LVM volume.<div><br></div><div>I have found a lot of documentation about adding storage pools, but I&#39;m unsure if that is actually what I should be doing. Is that just for storage of the virtual machines themselves? Once I&#39;d added my LVM volume group to virsh I could see no way of then assigning one volume of that to be offered as a logical volume to one particular virtual machine.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve also seen this: <a href="http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Virtualized_block_devices-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests.html#proc-Virtualization-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests-Adding_physical_block_devices_to_virtualized_guests">http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sect-Virtualization-Virtualized_block_devices-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests.html#proc-Virtualization-Adding_storage_devices_to_guests-Adding_physical_block_devices_to_virtualized_guests</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>Looks like I could use that to assign one of the LVM volumes in my LVM volume group to the VM.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone could explain the different function of these two techniques and which sounds applicable I would be most grateful.</div>
