Can I use xm save <dom> <file> Copy this file to another xen enabled machine and xm restore <file> where the <dom> is running solaris. If yes, what would that give me ? Will it start all processes from where they were frozen at the time of save ? thanks -- -------------------------------------- Amol Chiplunkar -- -------------------------------------- Amol Chiplunkar Bangalore, India Phone : +91-80-56927774 http://www.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/chiplunkar -------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people.

There are two types of supported migration: xm migrate This does an ''offline'' migration from one machine to another. It''s equivalent to the steps you give above: the domain is suspended in full, then resumed on another machine. xm migrate --live This does live migration as described in the Xen documentation and papers.> Will it start all processes from where they were frozen at the time of save > ?Yes. The meaning and advantages of migration are explained in the Xen publications you can find on the internet. At this time, there''s no real difference between Solaris domUs and other implementations in this respect. Note that the current Solaris Xen port available on opensolaris.org only supports migration of single-cpu domains, though we expect this to change relatively soon. regards, john _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list xen-discuss@opensolaris.org
