Not with this release of the code.  Right now only 32 bit guest OS
support exists for Solaris.

Domain 0 (host OS), 64 bit and SMP are all underway at Sun right now.

Hello, is there any place where one can follow the status of the Xen Dom0
progress on solaris ?

Is there an official roadmap, for this project ?

Best regards, Daniel Mersebak

At the moment, "here" is the best place.  I realise that
there''s not a
lot of information on the dom0 port available right now - the people
involved are beavering away though.

If this means specific timescales, deliverables, etc., then no, not
yet.  Tim''s "opening day"[1] message described some of the
work that
is currently ongoing within Sun and included a pointer to some
goals[2].

Is there something specific that you are interested to understand?
