similar to: Import vmware vmdk into xVM (osol-2009.06)

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) and the ability to import a vmdk 1.1 optimized stream file. An

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

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

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

There seems to be no list of needed packages, when starting with a fresh opensolaris dev (b121 today). hg gmake I guessed by now. Additionally the stuff mentioned here: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/building_on/ But are there further packages needed? Maybe some one should add a verified list to the building howtos... Florian

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

I have tried to define a domain or using virt-install both failed. Could some one give me the correct command to do this? I used: virt-install --nographics --paravirt --os-type=solaris --os-variant=opensolaris --ram 1024 --name cam-host --disk path=/dev/dsk/c0t600A0B800049E902000008EB4A9CE744d0p0,driver=phy -l /export/media_images/sol-nv-b121-x86-dvd.iso thx, florian

I have a 5-500GB disk Raid-Z pool that has been producing checksum errors right after upgrading SXCE to build 121. They seem to be randomly occurring on all 5 disks, so it doesn''t look like a disk failure situation. Repeatingly running a scrub on the pools randomly repairs between 20 and a few hundred checksum errors. Since I hadn''t physically touched the machine, it seems a

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.
