It looks like xvm does not come built-in to Indiana 2008.05. Which leads to the obvious questions: 1. is xvm compatible with 2008.05 (looking to evaluate Indiana as Dom0)? 2. which packages need to be installed (still getting used to the IPS package naming structure) Thanks!

After googling around and reading the material on the opensolaris.org xvm community site, I still do not understanding the configuration of networking and would appreciate some assistance. Problem: I have successfully installed an hvm domU running Windows XP on opensolaris 2005.11 (build 94), and when the laptop (lenovo t61, core2 9300) is connected via the e1000g0 interface networking works

Hi: I got OpenSolaris 2008.05 running as dom0 under VmWare fusion on my MacBook pro. Using the instructions from Dipleep''s blog http://blogs.sun.com/dkumar/entry/how_to_create_domu_in Everything seems okay except the networking. When booting OpenSolaris (without dom0) the pcn0 interface works just fine but when booting Solaris xVM version them pcn0 does not work (ie) I get failures

Apparently the b89 xvm-src.tar.bz2 tar bz2 archive is corrupted / truncated on the b89 source download page: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b89/ http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b89/xvm-src.tar.bz2 In the past, the xvm-src.tar.bz2 file had a size of ~ 100 mbytes; with b89 the size of the downloadable archive is only 72 mbytes. And bzip2 complains: % bzip2 -tv

Hi all, I''m in the process of building a home server with OpenSolaris 2009.06. It''s main function is to serve files (hence using OpenSolaris for some ZFS goodness), but I want to host some Windows x64 VMs on it as well. Given that there are currently no x64 Windows drivers for xVM, I was thinking of starting with VirtualBox (which does have x64 Windows drivers), and then

During boot, I get the following error: Nov 16 09:16:41 sol11 svc.startd[7]: [ID 652011 daemon.warning] svc:/system xvm/store:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/xenstored start" failed with exit status 96.

Hi, I double checked the configuration with xm and the "w!" option seems to be configured :-( I also upgraded to build 123, but also no change in behaviour. Thus is this a RAC 11.2 problem or is there a general problem using zvols as as shared disks for xVM domains ? (device (vbd (protocol x86_64-abi) (uuid 048d282d-da4c-2e0b-b9f4-f3f4cc0811c7)

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~johnlev/xvm-vnc-chown/ Now Xvnc runs as the ''jack'' user on the live CD, the password file must be owned by jack for it to work. Note that a full fix for this would make this VNC service only exist on the live CD[1]. As a temporary measure, we just disable ourselves post-install. Process question: after putting back to pkg-gate, does this need

Hello All, One of our user is facing java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space issue on a Windows 2003 32 bit xVM domU with 4GB RAM.

I''m completely new to the technology, please bare with me :) I have installed build 78 on VMware server and in grub, selected to boot xVM. However, it doesn''t boot up.

Hello: I successfully installed Solaris10 nv77 x86 on my Compaq NX6325 laptop with the following specs: - Mobile AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 (dual core 64bit). - 4GB RAM. The installation destination was an external 120GB USB 2.0 drive. I was able to successfully boot into regular Solaris, but not into xVM Solaris. Meaning, after highlighting the xVM menu item and pressing enter, the screen turns

Hi, I''ve started to play with CPU power management today, and that didn''t work at first. By default, my OpenSolaris host boots with a xVM enabled kernel. I reboot it with a standard kernel to see, and then CPU power management works perfectly. I searched a long time, but I didn''t find anywhere a word about CPU power management disabled when using an xVM kernel.

See the PSARC case for rationale: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=58816&tstart=30 Review notes: If you haven''t reviewed xVM changes before it''s a bit confusing. Basically the dirs ending in .hg/ are normal webrevs. The ones with other names are webrevs of a particular MQ patch added on top (for virt-install and xen repos).

i''m crossposting from the opensolaris help forum: i''ve just migrated some zones to newer hardware running b94, and find that after a while working with an hvm in xvm, the machine hangs/panics. if i leave xvm stuff alone, the machine is perfectly reliable. it''s x64, intel chipset/procs anybody else having these troubles - zones and xvm together causing hangs/panics?

Hi, I have an x86 box with two boot disks. Each disk contains a BE, and I upgrade from one to the other. When trying to do a lumake from 75 to 76, and again from 76 to 77 I have the following error from lumake: ERROR: The system must be rebooted after applying required patches. Please reboot and try again. ERROR: Cannot make the boot environment. I only get this error if I''m

Dear Experts, IHAC who interested in Sun''s xVM server. They would like to know when the xVM server will be available on Solaris. Thanks. Regards, Ray

Hi, Gurus, which build is stable for xVM? I chose Nevada 111 as xVM server, because it''s build base for OpenSolaris 200906. I think it should be stable. But I met error when I creating second vm on it. I tried virt-install and virt-manager, and I got same error. Here is error info libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed:

Hi Everyone, Just a quick fyi, as within the HA Clusters community we have recently endorsed a project to develop an Open High Availability Cluster (OHAC) failover agent for xVM guest domains. The HA Clusters community is located at http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ The project, Cluster Agent: OpenSolaris xVM, is located at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/ha-xvm/ As we

I have a Sony lib-162 tape library hooked up to an adaptec 39160 scsi controller. I''m running OpenSolaris / Indiana snv_98 with the CADP160 driver installed from a SXCE dvd (snv_99). When I boot without xvm, I can run "mt config" and see the configuration information for the first drive in the library. Under xvm, some scsi operations still work - I can access the changer, move
