All,
I am working on getting a poor man's client side hypervisor working. I have
noticed that Local SDL Window is an option and wanted to know if anyone has any
advise or better yet a proceedure for getting this to work.
Take care,
Chris Hunt
As an alternative to HVM Solaris8, I'd suggest Solaris8 branded zones. See:

I'm beginning to suspect the mirror I used for the CentOS installation.
The failure I cited previously was 100% repeatable. I did the install several
times, with the same result.
Since then, I've rsynced my own CentOS 5.4 mirror directly from CentOS.
Installs from my own HTTP server, running
to me.
Thanks very much.

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,

To bad, im missing something like esxi, just based
on xen. But if that project is dead, i dont know of
any good alternatives.
Have you looked at Citrix XenServer?

, but will boot to Solaris (non-xVM)
by default. Use the bootadm command to set xVM as the default GRUB entry
and reboot. Once booted into Solaris xVM, run virt-manager command to
create VMs.

From a Windows server 2003 domU running a DHCP server, I used the Windows

This sounds very much like a known issue we're

with SMP solaris guests

Thanks for the heads up John. I've tried a couple more times and it is clearly
a problem with the SMP Solaris HVM guest. Both PV Nevada and HVM Windows
guests have no issues with
I take back my earlier claim that re-installing S10u6 using UFS fixed the
problem. I have a S10u6 guest installed on a Zvol hosted from NV101 and it
does boot, but I've crashed the host a couple times during the guest boot. I
haven't done a lot of testing, but I seem to have better luck
I'm having the same problem on nevada b101. When running virsh define ...
using as input the output of virsh dumpxml ..., the lt;kernelgt;,

I seem to recall a limitation when using LDOMs where
you couldn't use different ZFS versions for the host
and guest. I wonder if there isn't something similar
going on here with Xen... I'm going to re-install
the S10u6 guest with UFS on the zvol.
I'm up and running with S10u6 as an HVM
I downloaded and installed Solaris 10 10/08 as an HVM domU with nv101 dom0.
The installation finished with no issues, but every time I try to boot the
domain it crashes and the host reboots! Has anyone had any luck running
Solaris10 10/08 as a Xen guest?

You didn't boot into xVM.

sigh. I thought I had that licked when I installed the xVM stuff last time
around. It didn't even occur to me that the upgrade might have undone my
bootloader tweaks
An upgrade to nv101 seems to have solved my problem.

I was going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I have not been
able to install the PV drivers on any domain after that first one.

When I try adding a second disk to an HVM domU, I get this when I try to boot:
Error: Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.
The backend device DOES exist. I'd like to use separate ZFS volumes for the
boot disk and data disk on a Windows HVM so I can manage
I've been trying to get the pv drivers running on a
Win 2003 server install with 2 virtual nics and
although the drivers install without error the hvm
does not boot correctly afterwards, hangs at the
windows splash screen, and xm top shows that the 2
vcpus allocated to the domain are pegged.
1. I was not given an opportunity to enter IP of local HTTP Server
different from selected by system official mirror FQDN.
Doesn't make sense. The feature is built into the initrd-based installer I
cited. Did you scroll to the top of the country list?
2. Utility qemu-img seems to be
stack.
Regarding the specific Solaris release - I'm using this one:

Following noogie's howto
(http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=62436), I thought I'd share
my approach to this problem.
Most of this procedure is intended to be a paste-bomb. I'm working on amd64,
some details will need to change for other architectures.
Install and start Apache
Before booting the VM, install netcat (if you don't already have it), and start
a listener. We'll need it later.
pkg install SUNWnetcat
cd /xen/ubuntu
nc -l -p 1 | tar xvf -
Start the VM!
xm create -c ubuntu-install.cfg
Here are the hilights of the install process:
Mirror Country:
Whoops!
The end of my first post got mangled by my use of this character: lt;
It should read:
Finally, create the VM config file:
cat gt; ubuntu-install.cfg lt;lt; EOF
kernel = /xen/ubuntu/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
ramdisk = /xen/ubuntu/initrd.gz
name = ubuntu-install
memory = 512
disk = [
You need to give the zone the sys_smb priv. See

Off on a tangent, but did you realise that you can force Solaris to

I didn't, thanks, I'll give that a go over the weekend.
