I've got a copy of Solaris Express on DVD, installed it and tried to
create a Xen guest domain using virt-manager.
I ran into the following road block:
- attaching storage space did not allow me to add a Normal Disk
Partition. /dev/dsk/c0t2d0p0, /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0, etc, all got
rejected with an error (see below). What did work was saying
/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0p0 was the File Location of the virtual disk, but
that fails later...
The errors coming out of virt-manager were:
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py" line 327, in
forward
if(self.validate(notebook.get_current_page() != True):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py" line 855, in
validate
d = virtinst.VirtualDisk(self.get_config_disk_image(),
self.get_config_disk_size() / 1024.0, spare = self.is_sparse_file())
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'NoneType' and 'float'
virt-manager doesn't work very well in the current bits. The jds folks
should be pushing a newer version relatively soon.
What are you trying to install? I can give you the virt-install line
for that....
What I've come up with so far is:
virt-install --paravirt --name dom1 --ram 6144 --nographics \
--os-type=solaris \
--network bridge=e1000g0,capped-bandwidth=200M \
--disk path=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4,driver=phy
--location /isos/osol-200906.iso
... what I'm not happy about:
location - I want to use a DVD disc in my DVD drive, not an ISO image
disk path - how do I tell it to use an entire disk (or fdisk partition),
not just a slice?
cpu - I want to set the limit to 2 CPUs.
