I have been trying to do this reading the various documentation found all over google with no luck. Has anyone managed to successfully do this? If so, can you please share how you did this?

If so, can you please share how you did this?What kind of problems are you having? Some work, some do not (without having to muck around in the guest). What OS are you using in the VM? i.e. VMWare uses a SCSI controller which Xen doesn''t support. This can be worked around... But depending on the OS has various levels of difficulties.

Are you seeing anything on the vnc guest console? vif is wrong for OpenSolaris.. For now, just try vif = [ '''' ] MRJ
Paul, Was the VMware appliance originally a .vmx type or an .ovf type? Did you convert it with virt-convert or by hand? Susan Paul Roberts wrote:> Mark, > > Thanks for the reply.
