I''ve got a copy of Solaris Express on DVD, installed it and tried to
create a Xen guest domain using virt-manager.
I ran into the following road block:
- attaching storage space did not allow me to add a Normal Disk
Partition. /dev/dsk/c0t2d0p0, /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0, etc, all got rejected
with an error (see below). What did work was saying /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0p0
was the File Location of the virtual disk, but that fails later...
The errors coming out of virt-manager were:
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py" line 327, in
forward
if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page() != True):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py" line 855, in
validate
d = virtinst.VirtualDisk(self.get_config_disk_image(),
self.get_config_disk_size() / 1024.0, spare = self.is_sparse_file())
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: ''NoneType'' and
''float''

The jds folks should be pushing a newer version relatively soon. What are you trying to install? I can give you the virt-install line for that.... MRJ

What you have above contains params which are part of a newer virt-install which is being putback shortly. virt-install --help For the disk and cdrom path, you should use p0. e.g. here''s using a cdrom, with 2 vcpus which I just tested on stock b118 bits (don''t have an extra disk I can install onto on this machine) -bash-3.2# virt-install -p -n dom --vcpus=2 -r 800 --nographics --noautoconsole -f /export/disk0 -s 8 -l /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 so a -f /dev/dsk/c0t1d0p0 should do it for the disk. Just don''t specify the wrong disk ;-) MRJ

The only part that was a bit weird was starting it up the first time to see what it would do, stopping it and wanting to recreate the vm. There doesn''t seem to be a virt-destroy and "xm destroy" didn''t undo everything that virt-install did the first time, so I had to use virt-manager to clean up the old vm. Looking in virt-manager I can see that I can manage RAM and CPU... what about disk? Or do I need to wait until it''s shutdown before I can do disk? Darren
