Hello All,
I''m investigating the possibility of running an EAL-certified Solaris
as
a dom0 and domU on Xen or xVM. The rationale of running Solaris in
dom0 is for security features, such as the features provided by the
Controlled Access Protection Profile. So far it seems like a Solaris
HVM is ideal for each domU in my current scenario, due to the ability
for labeling via trusted extensions and the RTOS capabilities of the
kernel.
My efforts to understand the capabilities of Xen, xVM, Solaris, and
OpenSolaris, have me running in circles. Does anyone understand the
feasibility of running a certified Solaris with a xen-based hypervisor?
My web searches show OpenSolaris with xVM is the only solaris/xen
combination with a community backing. Any advice is appreciated.
Note: Copied the security forum, since I''m referencing Solaris trusted
extensions and EAL
