xen discuss - Jul 2007 - Xen 07/07 for Solaris and the Xen Demo CD

Hi,

for what it''s worth:

The DomUs from the Xen Demo CD do work again with a Solaris Xen 07/07 Dom0.

At least the Centos DomU image (which is the only one I tested so far) works.
I''m not sure if it''s still necessary to disable checksum
offload (ethtool -K eth0 tx off) in the DomU. In my little tests the network
worked also without this.

The download link for the Xen Demo CD 3.0.3 is

http://www.xensource.com/download/index_3.0.3.html

(There''s no Demo CD for Xen 3.0.4 or Xen 3.1)

The cookbook to extract the DomU images from the Demo CD is

Links to other Linux DomUs can be found on my web page:

But be aware that I did not test most of the images listed there with Xen 07/07.

regards

Bern

It shouldn''t be necessary with the recent drop. If anyone finds
problems
with checksum offload (as Gavin did), please do let me know.
