Hey All, I just wanted to post and say that I've tested the new r151021 ISO installer using a Xen VM and was able to successfully perform the installation. Here's a copy of the Xen VM configuration that I used:
# cat ami-template.cfg builder='hvm' name='ami-template' vcpus=4 memory=4096 vif=['bridge=xenbr0, type=ioemu'] #disk=[ 'file:/root/psurya/omni-kayak/r151021-kayak.iso,hdb:cdrom,r', # 'file:/root/psurya/omni-kayak/ami-template.img,xvda,w' ] disk=[ 'file:/root/psurya/omni-kayak/ami-template.img,xvda,w' ] #boot='d' boot='c' vnc=1 vnclisten='0.0.0.0' vncconsole=1 on_crash='preserve' xen_platform_pci=1 serial='pty' on_reboot='destroy' The only "catch", is I have to set "apix_enable" to 0. I do that using KMDB during the installer (e.g. edit the loader so I drop to KMDB first), and then edit "/etc/system" after the install is completed but prior to the first boot (so I don't have to keep using KMDB for every boot). If I don't set that tuning, the system will "hang" during boot up (this is a problem with illumos and Xen HVM, and not specific to OmniOS or the new ISO). Additionally, I've attached a PNG image with some "zpool" and "format" output from within the Xen VM running after the ISO install (hopefully the mailing list doesn't strip the image from this post). Cheers, Prakash
