Re: [Xen-users] Solaris dom0, prebuilt domU?

[Boris Derzhavets <bderzhavets@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like it's more about Gentoo as PV DomU, then OpenSolaris 2008.11
or Solaris Nevada (b 103) Dom0.
Would the most recent Xen 3.3.1 port to CentOS 5.2 help you to install
Gentoo as PV DomU or , in other words, would you be able to install Gentoo PV DomU at Xen 3.3.1 CentOS 5.2 Dom0  ?

Hi List.

I'm still feeling my way through my first Solaris dom0, after a few
successful experiences with Linux dom0.  Getting a Solaris domU is nice
and easy, but now I need
 to start building Linux systems.

Following the directions at opensolaris.org, it looks like virt-install
really wants to run a classic "install CD" with a domU-aware kernel,
but I don't have such a thing since our Linux of choice is Gentoo.  (I
could patch a Gentoo-minimal CD with a new kernel, but I haven't quite
figured out the mechanics of that yet.)

I do have abundant resources for pre-building system images, which is
what I generally do for all our VMware guests, but I haven't figured out
how to take a built guest image and run it on a Solaris dom0.

It looks like I might be able to hand-roll an xVM xml config file, but I
haven't been able to find documentation for that, and the examples I
have from virt-install have comments at the top which warn against
hand-editing.

So I need a clue.

Thanks,
--Michael
