I am trying to run linux domU on solaris nv90 xVM . The server is x4200 m2 with 16 gb ram. I start domU with: bash-3.2# virt-install -n arkham --hvm -r 15500 -f /dev/zvol/dsk/usosweb/arkham -c /export/home/gausus/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso --vnc Starting install... libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: and the system starts to slow down. After about 10 seconds i get : bash-3.2# uptime Jun 13 08:53:24 ultramarine sshd[791]: error: fork: Error 0 bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable bash-3.2# and hard reset is the only solution. What might be the problem? Am i giving to much memory to xVM? best regards, mjb -- [ -----< Maciej Jan Broniarz || gausus@gausus.net >------ ] | Siamo qui \ sotto la stessa luce \ sotto la sua croce \ | | cantando ad una voce \ E l''Emmanuel Emmanuel, Emmanuel, | [ ---------------< E l''Emmanuel, Emmanuel >-------------- ]

ZFS'' arc cache in dom0 probably has serious problems with this. It was recommended to limit dom0 memory, and maybe tune zfs''s arc cache: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=177734 This message posted from opensolaris.org
