My apologies if this has been covered, but a quick search of the forum didn't 
yield any results.

I have XenServer version 5 installed and running several VMs (Linux and 
Windows).  I'd like to add a Solaris domU to the mix, but am having some 
difficulty.  The instructions for running OpenSolaris domU on a Linux dom0 all 
assume that one is using the standard xm commands within a vanilla Linux 
install.  I haven't found anything that speaks in terms of, "xe vm-param-set" 
parameters or how I would get this running on an actual XenServer.

I've tried installing just within an HVM, but the install gets hung up shortly 
after boot with a bunch of PCI errors.  I tried messing with the parameters of 
my VM for the OpenSolaris install to match what I saw covered in the Solaris 
domU/Linux dom0 page, but that didn't help (no boot device found):

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm uuid> HVM-boot-policy=
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm uuid> PV-bootloader=pygrub
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm uuid> 
PV-kernel='/boot/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm 
uuid>PV-ramdisk='/boot/amd64/x86.miniroot'
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xe vm-param-set uuid=<vm 
uuid>PV-args='/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix - nowin -B install_media=cdrom'

Anyone out there given this a shot yet?
