[Xen-users] Picture Tutorial: Installing OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a PV DomU (Xen 3.5-unstable Pv-Ops Dom0 Kernel 2.6.31.5)
Hi All, This is an extremely comprehensive screenshot tutorial that will guide you, step by step, through the installation of OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a paravirtualized (PV) guest. My setup is Xen 3.5-unstable pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.31.5. There are 3 photo galleries with a total of 154 PNG image screenshots.

Re: [Xen-users] Picture Tutorial: Installing OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a PV DomU (Xen 3.5-unstable Pv-Ops Dom0 Kernel 2.6.31.5)
That is very cool. I have some question in mind: Did u manage to set the hostid to be the same? even if u reboot the DomU server? In my old tests (under xen 2.6.26 debian with Xen 3.2) I was having problems with opensolaris since the hostid was change every restart. This effects the Zpool ID of the ZFS file system, which gives an error that the zpool has being exported to a different machine so please imported. I wanted to use this on my home under xen - since I find ZFS the best file system at the moment. At least until btrfs will be out 10x Sassy On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 7:31 PM, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) < space.time.universe@gmail.com> wrote:> Hi All, > > This is an extremely comprehensive screenshot tutorial that will guide you, > step by step, through the installation of OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a > paravirtualized (PV) guest.

Re: [Xen-users] Picture Tutorial: Installing OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a PV DomU (Xen 3.5-unstable Pv-Ops Dom0 Kernel 2.6.31.5)
Not the DomID and not the Domu hostname Solaris has internal hostid which can be found with the hostid command. In Solaris it depends on the MAC address of the NIC. Even if u had static mac address in the DomU config file (under the vif =[ ] parameters, you still have changing hostid with the opensolaris as DomU. This however does not effect the root/ZFS file system - but only other ZFS zpool. So let say u have a second Zpool name NFS, once u will report the DOMU - you will get error about not be able to mount the NFS zpool.

Re: [Xen-users] Picture Tutorial: Installing OpenSolaris 2009.06 UNIX as a PV DomU (Xen 3.5-unstable Pv-Ops Dom0 Kernel 2.6.31.5)
Thank you. I tried to reboot OpenSolaris PV domU but failed. I have to do a normal boot up of OpenSolaris after the failed reboot. The hostid stays the same. Regarding "type=ioemu" in vif, I wanted to do an upgrade of the virtual network card from Realtek 100 Mb/s to Intel 82540EM Gigabit, and I happen to find the syntax from the document at Oracle here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11081_01/doc/doc.21/e10898/templates.htm I think ioemu stands for I/O emulation. Can anybody explain ioemu in depth? -- Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Alma Maters: (1) Singapore Polytechnic (2) National University of Singapore My Primary Blog: http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com My Secondary Blog: http://enmingteo.wordpress.com My Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/enmingteo Email: space.time.universe@gmail.com Mobile Phone (Starhub Prepaid): +65-8369-2618 Street: Bedok Reservoir Road Country: Singapore On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 2:42 AM, Sassy Natan <sassyn@gmail.com> wrote:> 10x > > Let me know if I can help :-) > And maybe u can explain what is the vif = type=ioemy means > I see this for example in > http://enmingteo.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/opensolaris-23.png > > Great Job ! > > Thanks again > Sassy > > On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 8:38 PM, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) < > space.time.universe@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I have just installed OpenSolaris UNIX as a domU on my home PC to learn >> more about the operating system. >> >> I will try out the hostid command to see if the hostid changes between >> reboots of the domU. >> >> >> -- >> Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical >> Engineering) >> Alma Maters: >> (1) Singapore Polytechnic >> (2) National University of Singapore >> My Primary Blog: http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com >> My Secondary Blog: http://enmingteo.wordpress.com >> My Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/enmingteo >> Email: space.time.universe@gmail.com >> Mobile Phone (Starhub Prepaid): +65-8369-2618 >> Street: Bedok Reservoir Road >> Country: Singapore >> >> On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 2:31 AM, Sassy Natan <sassyn@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Not the DomID and not the Domu hostname >>> >>> Solaris has internal hostid which can be found with the hostid command. >>> In Solaris it depends on the MAC address of the NIC. >>> >>> Even if u had static mac address in the DomU config file (under the vif >>> =[ ] parameters, you still have changing hostid with the opensolaris as >>> DomU. >>> >>> This however does not effect the root/ZFS file system - but only other >>> ZFS zpool.
