I don''t see the binaries available for download yet. We should get the packages up there somewhere to go with the BFU bits. We also have a script which updates all the Xen packages for you. Makes it a little less painfull. We''ll see if we can publish that too. You can grab the source right now though.. http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/xvm-src.tar.bz2 MRJ -- Mark Johnson <mark.johnson@sun.com> Sun Microsystems, Inc. (781) 442-0869
xen.gz is part of the SUNWxhypr.pkg package which is also available as package
(so not only source) via the opensolaris xen downloads page :
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/xen/downloads/current/xen-3.0.4-1-sun.packages.tar.bz2
But i don''nt if those pkg''s are compatible if you bfu from b74
to b75.
Does anybody know if we can install those pkg''s on top of an upgraded
install?
SUNWxhypdomu.pkg Xen 3.0.4-1-sun domain tools
SUNWxhypdomr.pkg Xen 3.0.4-1-sun domain tools
SUNWxhypr.pkg Xen 3.0.4-1-sun root components
SUNWxhypu.pkg Xen 3.0.4-1-sun usr components
SUNWxhyphvm.pkg Xen 3.0.4-1-sun HVM support
SUNW0xenhvmtools.pkg vnc and SDL viewers
SUNWlibvirt.pkg
are those pkg''s still up to date or are they out dated for b75?

I have installed the latest ON consolidation from the 20071008 (ON 75) BFU and I cannot seem to find xen.gz anywhere. SMF services are also not installed from the BFU for Xen. Is Xen missing from the BFU, do I have to use source to try out the latest Xen? Is there additional steps, or bugs I''m overlooking? James

Taking a look at /platform/i86xpv, and noting the grub modifications by the BFU install script, it''s obvious that binary builds of Xen are not part of the BFU. I''m using the non-debug BFU. I''m building ON 75 source tree and will see if I can get xVM to compile. Documentation on building Xen specifically is sparse, and there''s no ON 75 specific announcement on the Xen project at opensolaris.org. James

Building from source is the only option, so be prepared to spend 4 hours on a large config Ultra-20 to compile ON, then compile for another hour Xen sources. It also seems that the build-workspace file is missing from the current ON-src, which Xen needs to build against. James

As the README explains, you use ''build-all''. regards john

We need to overhaul them to reflect current reality, this will hopefully happen soon. regards john

You''ll get a warning at dom0 boot time "WARNING: Found xen v3.0.4-1-sun but need xen v3.0.4-1-xvm". But it seems to work, anyway. This message posted from opensolaris.org
