Hi,
I was trying to launch windows 2003 and solaris hvm guest on OpenSolaris with
follwing python file using xm create command.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-bash-3.2$ cat domU.py
name='domU-DP-Rr7MqFiruS'
vcpus='1'
memory='1024'
vif=[ 'type=ioemu' ]
builder='hvm'
disk=['file://guest-images/domU-DPRr7MqFiruS/win2003.img,hda,w']
boot='c'
vnc=1
sdl=1
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
on_crash = 'destroy'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows domU is starting without any error with this py file, and is able to
dynamically set up IP address from the DHCP server.
With the same script when I tried to launch Solaris hvm guest, It was not able
to load xnf0 interface. During the experiment I cut out “type=ioemu” and used
just vif=[ '' ], and that worked.
After keeping the vif entry empty it was able to load xnf0 interface and also
picked up dynamic address from the DHCP server.
Why for the solaris hvm guest vif=[ 'type=ioemu' ] not required to emulate IO
devices?
Regards,
Divyen Patel
