Re: [osol-discuss] How can I try SUN xVM

Easy as

Download the latest DVD, at this time, Build 84.

Install on a system, I use AMD64, Dual core 4000, $70 MSI mainboard.
If the network card is not seen, use an Intel PRO100(from an old PC).

Use at least an 80Gb SATA disk.

If you have more than 3Gb ram, after the system is loaded, reduce
the memory used with:
eeprom physmem=60; reboot

(There are driver issues, with 32bit PCI cards)

>From the boot splash screen, select the xVM kernel.

All done.

To make the bootup always go xVM edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
and set "Default 1"

You need to install Nevada. I think the latest version of Nexenta can
run as an xVM host (dom0), but I haven't tried.

Hi,

I would like to give xVM a try. Do I have to install nevada or Solaris 10? 
Does nexenta have any support for acting as xVM host? I know my questions 
sound silly, but i have googled a lot about it and but the infos are 
contradictory.
