Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has any in site as to how to import a VMware vmdk into xVM on OpenSolaris 2009.06 (xVM 3.1). I have a VMware VM created on VMware Server 2.0 and would like to move it over to this xVM server. I appreciate any advice anyone may have. Cheers, -Chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo. You can now translate data from one virtual disk data type to another without creating a virtual disk. This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly translate the data into a zvol without having to import it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol. # vdiskadm help translate translate - translate virtual disk data

Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

Just a quick fyi... We''ve recently added support for blktap along with support for managing virtual disks (disk file images). There are some difference from a linux dom0. This is available in b101 @ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd_1/ This allows you to create and manage vmdk and vdi (Virtual Box) disk files. By default, virt-install will now use a vmdk vdisk when

Hi. I want use xen with dynamic slices. For example, I have 20 domU based on FreeBSD, xen hypervisor 3.3.1, Debian Lenny dom0 system. All domUs have 80Gb LVM partitions, but realy they use 20 of this 80Gb and I want to create more domU''s. How can I do it? I know that some virtualisation have possibility to do dynamic slices(4 example Virtul box) -- Best Regards, alex.faq8@gmail.com

Suppose I have a storage server that runs ZFS, presumably providing file (NFS) and/or block (iSCSI, FC) services to other machines that are running Solaris. Some of the use will be for LDoms and zones[1], which would create zpools on top of zfs (fs or zvol). I have concerns about variable block sizes and the implications for performance. 1.

Gents, We want to understand the mechanism of zfs a bit better. Q: what is the design/algorithm of zfs in terms of reclaiming unused blocks? Q: what criteria is there for zfs to start reclaiming blocks Issue at hand is an LDOM or zone running in a virtual (thin-provisioned) disk on a NFS server and a zpool inside that vdisk. This vdisk tends to grow in size even if the user writes and deletes

Hello, I have a situation where a host, which is booted off its ''rpool'', need to temporarily import the ''rpool'' of another host, edit some files in it, and export the pool back retaining its original name ''rpool''. Can this be done ? Here is what I am trying to do: # zpool import -R /a rpool temp-rpool # zfs set mountpoint=/mnt

Hi, I am seeing a performance degradation while using libvirt to start my vm (kvm). vm is fedora 12 and host is also fedora 12, both with 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686. Here are the statistics from iperf : >From VM: [ 3] 0.0-30.0 sec 199 MBytes 55.7 Mbits/sec >From host : [ 3] 0.0-30.0 sec 331 MBytes 92.6 Mbits/sec libvirt command as seen from ps output : /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M

I created a xen domU and using the Virtual Machine Manager. This created a large file on a zfs filesystem (in /var/lib/xen/images) containing the virtual disk image. Is there a better way to create a virtual disk? Does zpool/zfs allow to create special devices/filesystems with better I/O performance than a file over a zfs space? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
