Apart from the mercurial repository there is little information on the status of the XEN effort. There's this bsdtalk interview http://ropersonline.com/openbsd/xen/ in which Cristoph Egger says he hopes to have OpenBSD XEN included in 4.1. This seems to be a rumor though, since I see no XEN related work in the changelog. Also it is not clear if this refers just to DomU or to Dom0 support too. Anyone has fresh news? ciao Luca
Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
Is there any software that supports OpenBSD that can do full virtualisation? I don't think VMware would be supported on OpenBSD. -- Faced with the fact that Intelligent Design doesn't meet the criteria for a scientific theory, leading proponent redefines what a scientific theory is.

Re: Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
qemu is your best bet, its not quite as fast as vmware but it runs on OpenBSD, and supports several archs, it has a nice pkg and everything vmware could run on OpenBSD if you have linux compatibility turned on i think On 1/24/07, John Tate [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there any software that supports OpenBSD that can do full virtualisation?

Re: Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
I have OpenBSD v3.7 and v3.8 run just fine in VMWare Server. I however haven't fixed the VMWare Tools issue as of yet but apparently there is a work around to have VMWare Tools work for OpenBSD as well. I have a bunch of OpenBSD on VMWare bookmarks if you want me to post. Is there any software that supports OpenBSD that can do full virtualisation? I don't think VMware would be supported on OpenBSD.

I don't think there is anything that really fits what you're looking for. The NetBSD project has neat Xen integration both for running NetBSD as host or guest system. If you're looking for something like vmware then check out www.virtualbox.de. The GPL'ed the software recently and I've got it running on openSUSE. It runs a lot of guest systems including OpenBSD and it's much faster than qemu. There's a Linux kernel module included. I guess it does the same as the closed-source qemu module, so maybe this is sufficient for you. Hope this helps somehow. regards, Tobias
Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
Sorry, accidentally sent that to the wrong address. vmware could run on OpenBSD if you have linux compatibility turned on i think It uses a number of kernel modules, so I doubt it. However, the source may be available, so someone could probably try to implement similar functionality. -- Lachlan

Re: Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
I tried looking for source but was unable, vmware is a closed source as far as i can tell(please correct me if im wrong, as i like to get hold of the source) when i was looking for it online you have to download the binarys, and you have to email in for a serial number to use it, they also have higher up pay-for versions, with more features It is closed-source, however source to the kernel modules is distributed with the binaries, even if not with a free licence. I imagine that this would help with reverse engineering the driver, although I'm not sure whether the use of this as an aid to reverse-engineering the driver would be allowable under project policies. -- Lachlan

VMware is closed source.
