The Solaris Express build 75 release will be the
first Solaris Express build to include the Solaris
xVM bits.
There is a pretty serious bug in dom0 and potentially
domU due to some bits that were integrated around the
same time.. It''s recommended that you use the
"set softcall_delay=0x100000" workaround documented in
6612343 for both dom0 and domU. This bug should be
fixed in b76.
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6612343
Also, the current xVM sources can now be found
@ http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/
We are working hard at moving these bits so they
live in OpenSolaris.org But at least for now,
there''s a zip''d tar files available...

So it would be correct to state that from Solaris Express build 75 on, xVM/Xen will be included as a standard part of Solaris Express for x86/x64??

Looking at the xen.hg changelog, I see the latest change is from Jan 29, 2007 (while the previous build 66 xVM source drop had the latest changes from Jul 11, 2007): changeset 13138: d401cb96d8a0 tag: tip author: Tim Deegan <Tim.Deegan@xensource.com> date: Mon Jan 29 15:04:58 2007 +0000 I also noticed that the xvm-src.tar.bz2 bundle seems to miss all the changes that are needed to make it compile on OpenSolaris.

What you see in xen.hd by default is the upstream gate. you need to add the following to ~/.hgrc [extensions] hgext.mq The you can do the following $ hg qseries -v $ hg qpush -a MRJ -- Mark Johnson <mark.johnson@sun.com> Sun Microsystems, Inc.

If you follow the instructions there then you should see the changes. (Note that you don''t really need the special version of Mercurial just to build.) regards john
Hi Mark I have one question. As from now on Solaris developer edition will be shipped with xen.If somebody wants to install on a machine which is not compatible with xen.(like older machine which does not have a hardware support)Will he be able to do that. When installing Fedora 6 and 7 which comes with xen.When I installed it on a older machine, X server doesn''t work.So in order to make it work I was supposed to install a kernel without the xen support and it worked after that. So what is the situation with Solaris?? regards Nirmal Agarwal On 10/10/07, Mark Johnson <Mark.Johnson@sun.com> wrote:> > The Solaris Express build 75 release will be the > first Solaris Express build to include the Solaris > xVM bits. > > There is a pretty serious bug in dom0 and potentially > domU due to some bits that were integrated around the > same time..

Can somebody give me some hints on how to get the xen bits compiled on top of b75 (bfu''ed from b74). I dowloaded the sources , checked the readme file but since I don''t have access to http://jurassic.eng (probably an internal server @sun ?) I cannot figure out how to get this job done. Thanks in advance. K The readme [root@master-10:25 PM-~/xen/xen-src-3.0.4-1-sun]# cat sunos.hg/README This is the gate for Xen at Sun. It is located at /net/xenbld.sfbay/export/xen-gate/ See here for more information: http://jurassic.eng/~johnlev/xen/gate/ This message posted from opensolaris.org
