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).

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

Hi Dave, I built successfully an xvm 3.3 system. However, I found virt-manager and virt-install don''t work. I attached the error messages of both as below. xm tool seems to work. I can run OpenSolaris200811 LiveCD and install it onto file based disk. The error messages of virt-manager: ====start of error message==== Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI ''xen'':

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

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)

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 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

I just filed bug 7215. Here is the workaround: Symptom: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/xen-gate/xvm-3.3%2Bsunos.hg/ or http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/xen-gate/xvm-3.3+sunos.hg/ Error 404: File not found!

Hello, sorry if these questions have been answered before but please excuse me, I''m new to xVM :) Anyway I have been using Linux/Xen for quite a while and am very familiar with it. I am very interesting in changing to OpenSolaris/xVM for the primary reason of being able to easily leverage the ZFS filesystem and thin provisioning for better storage efficiency. 1) Is this ZFS thin

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

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

I''m happy to announce that we have moved the xen-unstable.hg Solaris dom0 development out to the OpenSolaris community. For hard core developers, you can download, build, and run Solaris dom0 and xen-unstable bits following the instructions at the end of this post. We are currently sync''d up to changeset #17644 (~May 15th). Hopefully we will sync up with xen-unstable.hg every

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''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.
