Hello All, I'm investigating the possibility of running an EAL-certified Solaris as a dom0 and domU on Xen or xVM. The rationale of running Solaris in dom0 is for security features, such as the features provided by the Controlled Access Protection Profile. So far it seems like a Solaris HVM is ideal for each domU in my current scenario, due to the ability for labeling via trusted extensions and the RTOS capabilities of the kernel.
My efforts to understand the capabilities of Xen, xVM, Solaris, and OpenSolaris, have me running in circles. Does anyone understand the feasibility of running a certified Solaris with a xen-based hypervisor? My web searches show OpenSolaris with xVM is the only solaris/xen combination with a community backing. Any advice is appreciated. Note: Copied the security forum, since I'm referencing Solaris trusted extensions and EAL -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
