Hi, I'm running snv84 on a SunFire x2200M2, 2 dualcore opterons, 8GB ram, 2 mirror sata disks (zfs). I tried to install both Ubuntu 7.1 Desktop and Fedora 8 into a HVM domU but failed everytime. The VNC-Server for the domU dies, but the domain still consumes CPU time, disks go idle after a while (zpool iostat or iostat show zero I/O). The domUs booted up fine, the installer started, partitioned and formated the virtual disks (zvols) and started copying the stuff over. Write access to the virtual disks seemed veeery slow (less than 1MB/s, the domU was in blocked state huge amounts of time). The hosts syslog didn't have anything abnormal.
Here's what I tried and the output: markgraf.bti1 ~ # virt-install --hvm --name=hvmlx --ram=1024 --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/data/zones/hvmlx --vnc \ --cdrom=/data/77/ubuntu-7.10-desktop.iso Starting install...

Did I miss something or tried something really stupid? ;-) Cheers, Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
