similar to: Convert VirtualBox VM to xVM?

Hi unfortunately VirtualBox does not work yet in a Solaris Dom0: I installed VirtualBox beta and it runs fine on bare metal. Unfortunately the necessary driver does not load automatically in a xVM Dom0. It can be loaded manually but it looks like it does not work in a Dom0: bash-3.2# modinfo | grep vbox # this is a one time task: bash-3.2# cp /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/amd64/vboxdrv

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

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'':

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, 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.

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)

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?

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

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

Hello all. We''re a pretty traditional old school sun shop w/a few dozen sun boxes from 1999-2004. We''re doing a try and buy on a sun blade 6000 with a couple of 6250 intel blades and a 6320 blade, looking to use multiple chassis to do a consolidation, using ldoms and xvm server with xvm ops center to manage it all. At least that''s our forward looking plan.... to move

hi folks, is there a straightforward or well-documented way to migrate my physical sxce snv_115 (x64) system into an xvm ? searching for "p2v" in an opensolaris context seems to pick up a few hits on zones, but nothing obvious relating to xvm on opensolaris for what it''s worth the host system is opensolaris (2010.02 snv_126), but i''m hoping that''s not very

I''m trying to figure out what the CURRENT requirements are for configuring the xVM domains to start at boot-time and stop on shutdown. The closest to current I''ve seen is http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xVM_lowres.pdf which does not address the problem, and http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xvm-ktde-20070917.pdf which states: *

One of my test domUs is a opensuse 10.3 PV domain, and it has a /boot/grub/menu.lst file. pygrub is used as bootloader. With xVM 3.1.4, the arrow keys can be used in the pygrub screen. With xVM 3.3-unstable, the arrow keys don''t work for me any more. What I''ve found out so far is that: - gnome-terminal, xterm or dtterm are running with "vt100 application key

Hi, I have an x86 box with two boot disks. Each disk contains a BE, and I upgrade from one to the other.
