Hi, I would like to install OpenIndiana on domU. My dom0 is runnning under Debian Squeeze. Do you have any information about it ? Maybe a config sample ?

Maybe a config sample ?Funny thing about that. INSTALLING is currently easier than RUNNING it :P Installing it as HVM domU should be straight forward, so I''m going to write what I learned installing it as PV domU. You can run Openindiana (I tested b148) and Solaris 11 Express (I tested 2010.11) Live ISO by simply using pygrub. The config is something like this (tested on Xen 4.0.1) #============================memory = "1024" vif = [ "mac=00:16:3E:C7:E3:7F, bridge=br0, vifname=oi-e0" ] disk = [ "file:/data/iso/oi.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r", "phy:/dev/zvol/vm/oi/xvda,xvda,w", ] vcpus=1 bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" localtime = 1 on_shutdown = "destroy" on_reboot = "destroy" #============================ To make your life easy, use a bridge that has dhcp server on it. If you have libvirt/virt-manager installed, there should a be a virbr0 that you can use. Once you got the text console login, you can get X session with vnc following http://blogs.sun.com/mrj/entry/installing_opensolaris_on (search for "jack", start from there). If you need root access, you can use "sudo -s". After installation completes, now comes the complicated part. openindiana comes with zfs pool version 28, which seems to be newer than what pygrub supports. So don''t shutdown/reboot yet, cause there''s couple of things you must do first: - copy the kernel (/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix) and ramdisk (/platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive) from the installation root (forgot what the path was on live session, should be easy to find out) to dom0, using scp/rsync/whatever. - find out what your "/" dataset is (Try running "zfs list". It should be "rpool/ROOT/openindiana") - find out what your domU disk is detected as (Try "format". It should be "/xpvd/xdf@51712" for xvda). Then you can shutdown the live session. Create a new config file that looks something like this #============================memory = "1024" vif = [ "mac=00:16:3E:C7:E3:7F, bridge=br0, vifname=oi-e0" ] disk = [ "phy:/dev/zvol/vm/oi/xvda,xvda,w", ] vcpus=1 kernel = "/vm/oi/boot/unix" ramdisk = "/vm/oi/boot/boot_archive" extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B zfs-bootfs=rpool/ROOT/openindiana,bootpath=''/xpvd/xdf@51712:a''" localtime = 1 #============================ The "zfs-bootfs" part points to your "/" dataset, while "bootpath" points to domU disk''s first slice. Note that the end of "extra" line has both single quote ('') and double quote (").

Thanks for your help. When i try your config file i get this: pyGRUB version 0.6 │ OpenIndiana Development oi_148 X86 │ Boot from Hard Disk Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!

Any idea ?Is the ISO listed first? It must, in order for pygrub to pick it up. You can also test if pygrub can correctly load kernel and ramdisk from ISO by running something like pygrub /path/to/your/openindiana.iso If you see an error, then probably your pygrub version is too old. Try MRJ''s for example on how to use kernel and ramdisk copied manually from the ISO. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi,
I ''ve tested too and i get the same error.
I''m using the Debian squeeze package : Xen 4.01. So i think my pygrub
is
not too old...
I''v copied manually kernel and ramdisk image too but it''s not
work:
*Using config file "/etc/xen/solaris.cfg".
Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!*
My config:
*vcpus = ''1''
memory = ''1024''
name = ''solaris''
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
vif = [ "" ]
disk = [
"file:/var/tmp/osol.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r",
"file:/xen/domains/solaris/disk.img,xvda2,w"
]
kernel = "/solaris/unix"
ramdisk = "/solaris/x86.microroot"
extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix - nowin -B
install_media=cdrom"
on_shutdown = "destroy"
on_reboot = "destroy"*

Ok now installation works fine with this config file: name = ''solaris'' memory = 2048 vcpus = 1 kernel = ''/solaris/unix'' ramdisk = ''/solaris/boot_archive'' extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B console=ttya" disk = [''file:/var/tmp/oi.iso,6:cdrom,r'', ''file:/xen/domains/open-indiana/disk.img,0,w''] vif = [ ''bridge=br0'' ] The installation is finished.
