XenProject.org Q&A: Solaris 11.1 or 11.2beta as an HVM guest
A new question on the XenProject.org Q&A asks about Solaris 11 HVM DomU on Xen Project 4.*. I haven't found much on the subject online (probably reflecting the general lack of interest in the subject, given the fade of Solaris). Does anyone have any insight? --- "master" asks: "I am using Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 server on a MSI MS-7737 with an Intel E5-2603 v2 as the host with the xen-system-amd64 package. Most of my trials on guests are successful except... After days of reading my Google friend and nearly a hundred of trials on config file, BIOS config, xen boot options, I did not find a way to boot Solaris 11.1 nor 11.2 HVM domU. Solaris just hang, I waited for hours, checked iso sum, ects... sudo xl create solaris.xl cat solaris.xl builder = 'hvm' vcpus = '4' memory = '4096' name = 'solaris' vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ 'file:/home/dummy/sol-11_1-text-x86.iso,hdd:cdrom,r' ] vncpasswd = 'vncpasswd' Did Solaris is part of supported HVM guest OS? Did someone have a working configuration and could share information? Thanks in advance for your support.
