I just upgraded one of my home servers to Nexenta Core 1. Even though
I've run Nexenta inside VMWare, but I'm still impressed with how it feels on
a realsystem. Y'all have managed to fix nearly every minute-to-minute
thing that annoys me about Solaris, while providing the familiar good
Solaris stuff, all on a ZFS root. :-)
I do, however, have some Xen-related questions:
1) 64-bit Xen? I have a dual-core AMD 64bit-capeable processor with the
virtualization extensions. I can only load the Xen hypervisor in 32-bit
mode, when following these directions:
http://www.nexenta.org/os/NexentaXenDom0
2) xenbr0? When I copy one of the Xen VMs that I put together on a Linux
box, I get errors regarding the lack of a xenbr0 interface. This is
expected, since a typical network line looks like this:
vif = ['mac=00:00:ca:11:ab:1e','bridge=xenbr0']
and the ifconfig -a from my Nexenta host looks like this:
lo0:
flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
nge0: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS>
mtu 1500 index 2
inet 172.16.1.3 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255
lo0:
flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1
inet6 ::1/128
However, I haven't found any good directions on how to create these
peculiar interfaces on Nexenta. Is the documentation from OpenSolaris
relevant? Any pointers to relevant documentation would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Luke
