xen discuss - Jul 2008 - How to install a Solarix xVM over OpenSolaris 2008.05

In the past Sun used to distribute Solaris Express Developer Edition, which
contained all one might wish for: OpenSolaris, Solaris xVM, Sun Studio, etc. Now
Sun is phazing out the SXDE program (as noted here:
http://developers.sun.com/sxde/) and instead providing just the OpenSolaris DVD.
Unfortunately, once you install that one, there is no xVM, just OpenSolaris.

My question is, is there an alternative bundle that is similar to SXDE? If not,
how can I install xVM? Only by compiling from sources?

Sun still publishes the Solaris Express Community Edition at 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd/

The is similar to SXDE, but it still uses the old-style installer. 
You''ll still have the xVM option in grub after installation.

I haven''t checked in a while, but I think the compilers are also
shipped
on that DVD, but aren''t installed by default.  Look around the DVD and 
you should find a script you can run.

HTH,
Ryan
