Hi all:
Does xVM support VBD / VNIF? If so, does anyone test it?
Thanks for any help!
Best regards,
Liang Kan

The current NIC bits do not support hvcopy. That should be available some time in the early b80''s.

Hi Mark: Thanks for your reply. Does it mean I can try VBD/VNIF using any version of xVM after b75? Where is the source? For XEN, the PV driver source is under /unmodified_drivers. For xVM, is it in the same place? If so, I only found Linux PV driver under /xen.hg/unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6. I supposed that there is PV driver for Solaris. Where can I find it? Can I use the same method as XEN/Linux to build & use these drivers? Is there any thing different? Thanks for your help. :) Best regards, Liang Kan -----Original Message----- From: xen-discuss-bounces@opensolaris.org [mailto:xen-discuss-bounces@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: 2007年11月30日 20:11 To: Liang, Kan Cc: xen-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Does xVM support VBD / VNIF Liang, Kan wrote:> Hi all: > > > > Does xVM support VBD / VNIF?

Is there any thing different?The drivers are integrated into the Solaris ON source tree under usr/src/uts/common/xen/io/ and usr/src/uts/i86xpv/io/. There are built when you build Solaris. The VBD is xbd(backend) and xbf(frontend) and the VNIF is xnf and xnb*.c e.g. http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/xen/io/ VNIF frontend http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/xen/io/xnf.c MRJ> Thanks for your help. :) > > Best regards, > Liang Kan > -----Original Message----- > From: xen-discuss-bounces@opensolaris.org [mailto:xen-discuss-bounces@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson > Sent: 2007年11月30日 20:11 > To: Liang, Kan > Cc: xen-discuss@opensolaris.org > Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Does xVM support VBD / VNIF > > > > Liang, Kan wrote: >> Hi all: >> >> >> >> Does xVM support VBD / VNIF?

PV drivers for PV domains live in the Opensolaris source - not the Xen source. Look in usr/src/uts/common/xen/io/ for the source and in usr/src/uts/i86xpv for the directories in which the drivers are built. If you are looking for PV drivers for HVM domains, those are not yet available. They should be coming within another month or two: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2007/664/> Can I use the same method as XEN/Linux to build & use these drivers? Is > there any thing different?There should be no need for you to build them. You''re welcome to do so if you want, but the binary bits are/will be available as a standard part of OpenSolaris. Nils
I mean the PV drivers for HVM domains. Thanks for that info. :) Best regards, Liang Kan -----Original Message----- From: Nils Nieuwejaar [mailto:nils.nieuwejaar@sun.com] Sent: 2007年12月3日 4:42 To: Liang, Kan Cc: Mark Johnson; xen-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Does xVM support VBD / VNIF On Sun 12/02/07 at 14:52 PM, kan.liang@intel.com wrote:> Hi Mark: > > Thanks for your reply.
