In this article I'll be installing OpenSolaris 2009.06 para-virtualized under a centos-5-x64 dom0. This setup has the advatange of running OpenSolaris on storage controllers that may not have native solaris driver support.

Device number in OpenSolaris

dba477 ·
[root@xen2 osol]# cat > osol0906install name = "osol0906install" > memory = 1024 > vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vnclisten=127.0.0.1,vncdisplay=0' ] > disk = ['file:/xen/osol/osol-0906-x86.iso,6:cdrom,r', > "phy:/dev/vgxen/osol,xvda,w" ]

That seems surprising. I would expect : - disk = ['file:/xen/osol/osol-0906-x86.iso,6:cdrom,r', "phy:/dev/vgxen/osol,0,w" ]

Reproduced. Yes , works with "xvda"

Mercurial backports on Xen Hosts.
