     vds - virtual disk server

SYNOPSIS
     vds* at cbus?
     vdsp* at vds?

DESCRIPTION
     The vds driver provides a virtual disk server using the services provided
     by the UltraSPARC Hypervisor as found on sun4v systems.  It provides the
     backing storage for virtual disks in other logical domains through a log-
     ical domain channel provided by the UltraSPARC Hypervisor.  The vds driv-
     er uses disk images in the form of regular files.  The name of the file
     used for the disk image is taken from the domain's machine description.

     The vds driver supports version 1.0 of the vDisk protocol.
