Hi there, I downloaded OpenSolaris, Build 123. The problem though is when I boot it, the grub menu has only two choices, either "Solaris Express Community Edition snv_123 x86" or the fail safe. When I chose the first one, the system boots fine and without errors. Now, how I can boot the system to the virtualized environment (i.e. Dom0) if I want to play with Xen. Since, I have to get Xen kernel running first, so I can interact with Hypervisor second. Thanks in advance. Oxygen -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
A similar question was asked recently on this alias I think, more on the lines of "Where did the xVM boot line go?" At any rate, for OpenSolaris, check out this page - http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/2008_11_dom0/ SXCE might be slightly different. --joe Anas Ayad wrote:> Hi there, I downloaded OpenSolaris, Build 123.

Thanks for the fast replay, Am on it now. I will refer back if it works. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
It''s done, thanks joe . Referring to the link. I skipped step 1,2, and 3. first, there is no need to build a new boot environment, second, the packages been given to be installed in step two are already available in OpenSolairs SXCE, it will be only required for those who are using OpenSolaris 2008.11 or 2009.06 releases. Step three, was about running the AWK script. It actually an important step since it will out the correct lines needed to be added to the grub menu. Frankly, I tried to run it but it complained about step 10,11, and 12 as they are an illegal lines. Whatever, some output been given as an example of how it is going to be. I copied and I modified it. I rebooted along with some failures, but it did work at the end. Here is the correct lines that I added to my grub menu: title OpenSolaris with xVM findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=text module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive don''t forget to make a copy of your original grub menu file. The last step is to enable or to activate the xVM services, in our case they will be online the moment you boot. Thanks again joe, without your help I would never made it. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
