All; I was wondering if xen 4.1.0 will compile in x86 solaris 10 environment? The prerequisites list has some items that do not appear to be solaris compatable. I am evaluating virtualization solutions and would like to give xen a fair look.

What are you trying to do? Using solaris 10 as dom0 is not possible. Even if you get Xen hypervisor and userland to build, you''ll need special kernel for dom0. opensolaris used to have a dom0-compatible kernel, but AFAIK Oracle dumped xvm, so even if you manage to get it running it will be unsupported. If you just want to run solaris as domU, solaris 10 can be run as HVM domU, while opensolaris/openindiana/solaris express can be run as PV or HVM domU. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
