Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Quick Test of r151021 ISO Install using Xen HVM and an "xdf" Device

[Stephan Budach]

Hi,

I have started out by simply copying the Xen disk image over to a omniOS host, 
where I attached the disk image using lofiadm. I then immediately tried zpool 
import -d /dev/lofi, but that didn't output anything. I then ran prtvtoc on the 
lofi device:

root@tr1207410:/tr1207410data01# prtvtoc /dev/lofi/1
* /dev/lofi/1 (volume "lofi") partition map
*
* Dimensions:
* 512 bytes/sector
*1449 sectors/track
*   1 tracks/cylinder
*1449 sectors/cylinder
*   46312 cylinders
*   46312 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
*   1: unmountable
*  10: read-only
*
*  First SectorLast
* Partition  Tag  FlagsSector CountSector  Mount Directory
   0  001  0  67106088  67106087
This is what fdisk says about this volume:

root@tr1207410:/tr1207410data01# fdisk -R /dev/rlofi/1
 Total disk size is 46312 cylinders
 Cylinder size is 1449 (512 byte) blocks

   Cylinders
  Partition   StatusType  Start   End   Length%
  =   ==  =   ===   ==   ===
  1 EFI   0  4631346314100


So… there is something there, but how to mount that sucker?

Cheers,
Stephan

Yes, this is what I also thought, but the guest would need to be able to read 
the rpool. Will Solaris 11 be able to mount the rpool or is the underlying 
zpool version too far off? Solaris 11 runs as guest on Oracle VM…

Other than that, I could try to transfer the vdisk itself over to a omniOS box 
and just try to mount there. There was something about some offset, when doing 
this… with vdisk images, which I vaguely remember… ;)

Can you maybe use the virtual-disks and attach them to a system with working 
network connectivity?

Just a thought,

Ha ha… yeah… I will try. Howerver, without any network connectivity, I will be 
having quite a hard time getting those dumps from the guest anywhere.

Share kernel core dumps please so we can debug them please.

Also, there're some occasional log messages to the console about a PCI device

Wow, this is awesome, Dan. Thanks for bringing this to OmniOS!

Can you elaborate on that a little more as of what exactly you did to the 
loader? I am guessing that you modified the kernel boot arguments, but 
unfortuanetly, I am unfamiliar with the new loader.

[OmniOS-discuss] Quick Test of r151021 ISO Install using Xen HVM and an "xdf" Device

[Prakash Surya]

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
