Looks like you try to create SNV79b PVM at SNV (b <=84) Dom0 1.SNV79 is not S10. 2. Would try to use regular file like /export/home/images/sol.img or ZFS file system with --f key --ram 600 --vcpus 1 --name xvm1 > --file /dev/rdsk/c2t1d0 > > The initial output on the console is: - > > Starting install... > Creating domain... > 0 B > 02:54 > v3.0.4-1-xvm chgset 'Sun Jan 06 11:43:59 2008 -0800 > 13229:fc49a937b8f7' > SunOS Release 5.11 Version snv_79a 64-bit > Copyright 1983-2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
