I put up a quick blog entry on how to install a PV OpenSolaris on xVM or a Linux dom0. If you run into any problems, give me a yell. http://blogs.sun.com/mrj/ Have fun! Thanks, MRJ
Thank you very much for your blog entry.
Using a linux dom0 runing Xen3.2 (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, running
2.6-24-16-xen in 64bit), I get a DomU kernel panic right after xm
-create. Here is the output:
/media/test/OpenSolaris$ sudo xm create -c targoid.py
Using config file "./targoid.py".

Here is the output:That''s a bug in Xen 3.2. It''s fixed in 3.2.1. We putback a change to avoid that bug in b88 or b89.. But the current OpenSolaris bits are based on b86. If you can move to 3.2.1, it should work fine.

Regular Nevada Builds 85 and 86 were affected by CR 6650717:- http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6650717 Commit to fix : SNV87. CR 6650717 has been committed in SNV87.

Remove root=...
Since your booting from a zfs root, the conf file
has to be different. zfs support in pygrub just went
back into xen-unstable.
If you are copying the kernel off of the disk, you need
to remove the root line in your config file and add the
zfs info to the extra line.
The following should work...
extra=''/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B
zfs-bootfs=rpool/27''

I hardly understand Polish. However, looks like you installed SNV86 DomU at OpenSolaris2008/05 Dom0 (bare metal). I would wonder command : # pkg install SUNWvirtinst picks up package form Internet Repo or from DISTRO itself. This message posted from opensolaris.org

If you need to use pygrub, an alternative is to convert 2008.05 to UFS: 1. create installed 2008.05 ZFS VM with additional device 2. newfs and mount this device on /ufs 3. /usr/bin/find -H . -depth -mount -print | /usr/bin/cpio -pdmPu /ufs note: this only takes stuff mounted on / 4. mount -F lofs -o nosub / /mnt (cd /mnt; tar cvf - devices dev ) | (cd /ufs; tar xvf -) umount /mnt 5. fix the device names in /ufs/dev/dsk and /ufs/dev/rdsk: for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | sed -e ''s/c4/c0/''`"; done 6. make the missing dirs w/correct perms (/ufs/tmp, /ufs/proc, etc - there is a script for this here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/create_dirs/) 7. edit /etc/vfstab to use /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 for / and swap for /tmp 8. bootadm update-archive -R /ufs 9. umount /ufs Shutdown and it''s ready to go This message posted from opensolaris.org

It seems that when using zfs-aware pygrub, bootfs can be used to select the correct root. Is there a way to achieve similar effect using xen config file?

I was actually trying to install SXCE b87 and convert it to zfs root as PV domU on linux dom0. I tried zfs-bootfs=rootpool/rootfs, zfs-bootfs=rootpool/27, and some other variations, none of them seem to work.> > > It seems that when using zfs-aware pygrub, bootfs > can be used to select the correct root.

When running pygrub manually it shows that the params are "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B zfs-bootfs=rootpool/21,bootpath=''/xpvd/xdf@1:a''" No idea what "21" on rootpool/21 means. I also got this bug : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008040301/ fixed using suggested workaround. Now I''m able to run both b87 and opensolaris 2008.05 using zfs-root.

In my testing, the parameters returned by pygrub depends on the command "zpool set bootfs=", not from bootfs parameter on grub menu.lst. Is there a way to have pygrub actually parse menu.lst for solaris domUs, or some other way to select bootfs via pygrub? Regards, Fajar This message posted from opensolaris.org
If you are short of memory in Guest you can instead of unsing VNC server localy, use X display redirection. 6b) Use for installation ssh with X redirection ssh -X jack@129.157.107.173 jack export DISPLAY=computer:0.0 pfexec gui-install -------------- See more in blog http://blogs.sun.com/VirtualGuru/entry/warm_welcome_opensolaris_on_amazon Your Virtual Guru This message posted from opensolaris.org
Fajar, Yes, xvm does not currently look at the contents of menu.lst. You can supply an override to pygrub for zfs-bootfs. If you dump the config with ''virsh dumpxml <domU> > file'', edit it adding a bootloader argument of zfs-bootfs=<name_of_filesystem>'' and then ''virsh define file'' this will override the default that is found by pygrub. The bootloader arg line looks like: <bootloader_args>--args="zfs-bootfs=rpool/ROOT/opensolaris"</bootloader_args> You can boot from a zfs root clone, but not from a zfs root snapshot.

Re: Installing OpenSolaris 2008/05 as a PV guest
Hi, thank you for blog entry, it was rather helpful. I am running a Linux Dom0 and have succeeded in installing Opensolaris to some extent. The install went fine, I copied boot_archive and the kernel but on reboot I get the following error: [root@harmless xen]# xm create -c sol Using config file "./sol". Started domain solaris v3.1.2-92.1.13.el5 chgset ''unavailable'' SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_86 64-bit Copyright 1983-2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.

Mounting ZFS filesystems: (6/6) I can log on as root, but the system isn''t very useful this way, and I don''t know enough about solaris to fix it. my xen.cfg file for this looks like this: name = "solaris" memory = 1024 vif = [ '''' ] disk = [ ''file:/data/xen/solaris.img,0,w'' ] kernel = ''/etc/xen/unix'' ramdisk = ''/etc/xen/boot_archive'' extra = ''/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B zfs-bootfs=rpool/27'' on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''destroy'' on_crash = ''destroy'' If there is any help, I would appreciate it.
