I just have decided , that snapshots of the most recent posts at OpenSolaris Xen Discuss forum would be the best form of advertising regarding upcoming Solaris Xen Drop.

This installation has been done to evaluate OUI (disk I/O) performance on OpenSolaris DomU versus OUI performance on Linux (CentOS 4.5,5.0) HVM VMs on the same box. Difference appears to be very noticeable.

This posting follows up “Install Xen 3.1 Solaris domU (64 bit) at CentOS 5 dom0 (64 bit)” at Lxer.com and gives step by step instruction how to set up VNC on OpenSolaris DomU. In general , everything seems to be already told in OpenSolaris documents.However, I believe that detailed instructions won't be useless at mean time.

In general installation bellow went the same way as in TardisWiki, considering Xen 3.0.3-1 Solaris domU under Debian Etch dom0 (32 bit).
However, several things happened different from described in TardisWiki.
1. Installation didn't hang all way through.
2. To preserve "bootadm update-archive -R /a" work i had to force "umount /a"

I come from a MySQL background, and I have been given the challenge of learning Oracle. I can’t just play around with our customers’ databases.So I decided to install my own Oracle database, which I’ll be free to destroy in every way I can think of… and of course, free to bring it back to life.

Installation has been done to evaluate HVM VM performance. CentOS 5 VM has been tuned exactly as advised at oracle-base.com. 1 GB memory was allocated for VM and it was installed on 16 GB partion (/dev/sdbX) of SATA HDD Seagate Barracuda 160 GB

The target of this posting is to make mentioned installation easy for any person regardless his Solaris Administration experience. Create Solaris HVM VM profile - /etc/xen/vm/Solaris.hvm

This posting is supposed to respond HowToForge's notice that installing Xen 3.1.0 on Debian Etch AMD64, regardless of the method (Xen source install vs. Xen x86_64 binary install) didn't work. Here is how I installed Xen on my Debian Etch 4.0 (amd64) box assembled with Core 2 Duo E6600, ASUS P5B Deluxe, 2 GB RAM (Kingston non ECC) and a SATA HDD Seagate Barracuda 160 GB x 2.

This short guide describes how to install Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server on Xen. It provides an overview of the Debian Linux Etch installation, and detailed steps for installing and configuring Xen and starting the Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server installation.

For a long time I have tested many different virtualization techniques; Xen, VMWare, and Microsoft VM. Until now I’m able to conclude that all of them are usable on my desktop machine, but both VMWare and Microsoft’s VM are more sluggish that Xen. This weekend I deployed my first server based on the upcoming Debian Etch and Xen. Everything worked out of the box.

Attempt to use compiled binaries might fail sooner or later due to hardware issues. Fortunately, 2.6.18-xen kernel does understand the hardware assembled on ASUS P5B Deluxe and Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet in particular. Actually, it means that any board based on (I965+ICH8R) or (I975+ICH7R) would be in general OK for Xen 3.1 Binary installation , but may have trouble with Ethernet Adapter.

RPM's install procedure suggested in http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/19338.html still causes SLES 10 GUI procedure creating Xen Windows XP VM to crash.Workaround for this issue follows bellow

I have been looking for a way to replace my old Windows NT machine that I mainly use to run MS Word, Reference Manager and to connect to my Linux desktop via XWin32. I figured if I get one of the new AM2 dual core CPUs from AMD with low energy consumption (35 Watt TDP specified) .

The following document discusses the Oracle bbed tool. The name bbed is an acronym for Block Browser and EDitor and it is shipped with the database. It is intended for Oracle internal use only and the company never publishes any details about it.

The target of this technical exercise is linking "bbed" on Linux to perform block corruption followed by rman block recovery.

It's been over a year since I first wrote about Seam and enough has changed over that time to provide a refresh of the entry. Last month JBoss released version 4.2 of its application server, a release JBoss refers to as a "stepping stone from JBoss 4.0 to JBoss 5.0".

Attempt of straightforward deployment performed as suggested in Michael Yuan's blog for HyperSonic Database causes some issues.

To tune Jboss 4.0.5 instance as advised in HP Manual and make it connects to Oracle Server, perform the following steps on the JBoss Application Server.

So, now I had my server, deploying the trailbalzer and even my application without any problems, but as there's already stated that Hypersonic isn't suited for production purposes and as I discovered that my tables were gone when restarting the server (only after some more hours I understood it wasn't Hypersonic's fault, but a xml config file's)

Just note, that you cannot import samples from directly into Eclipse 3.2.X.Purchase of MyEclipse Plugin subscription seems to be quite necessary.View for details.
