Hi, I'm trying to run Windows XP guest on a b90 host. No matter what I've tried doing, I always get "Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found." when I try creating a guest with a vif.
Unfortunately, the host uses an Asus P5K-VM motherboard with Marvell 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and had to go through some bells and hoops to make it work (see link to bells and hoops article below), including the installation of a driver from SysKonnect's website. I feel a bit sheepish for not being able to find the proper explanation for Xen and networking in Solaris (is there such a thing?). But from what I collected on the Internet I /think/ the driver may be an old GLDv2, and Xen requires GLDv3 architected drivers to work with network. Is that correct? Finally, I wanted to give up on 'real' networking from my machine and let Solaris route the traffic using something akin to 'host only networking', and still couldn't find the proper explanation for Xen and networking in Solaris. What other vif types are there other than ioemu and bridge, and where do I read about them? Bottom line is: what's the path you'd recommend to get me a running Windows XP box with networking?
