Greetings, I have a problem that is baffling me. My host machine is an older Dual Xeon machine that does not support HVM - PAE is supported.
I have 2008.11 b98 installed as Dom0. I'm trying to install the same as a DomU. In the DomU, I'm starting the ssh service, logging in with X forwarding and starting the gui with: (dom1) jack$ pfexec gui-install The gui displays on my X11 system. I click "next", and the installer does not recognize my virtual drive. I can not continue past this screen. I have verified the virtual drive exists. (dom1) pfexec fdisk -W - /dev/rdsk/c3d0p0 * Dimensions: * 512 bytes/sector * 63 sectors/track * 255 tracks/cylinder * 1305 cylinders * Id Act Bhead Bsect Bcyl Ehead Esect Ecyl Rsect Numsect 191 128 0 1 1 254 63 1023 16065 20948760 I am able to create, import, export, and destroy zpools on that drive. I did make sure I destroyed any pool named "rpool" before starting the installer. Is there something I'm missing? I've created the domU using both virt-install and manual "xm create". Used both virtual device id "0" and "xvda". I've also tried running the gui over VNC as describe in http://blogs.sun.com/VirtualGuru/entry/installing_opensolaris_2008_05_into (dom0)# virsh dumpxml dom1 <domain type='xen' id='7'> <name>dom1</name> <uuid>6ff55f51-b68b-5580-e0db-b5ddb94e9923</uuid> <bootloader>/usr/lib/xen/bin/pygrub</bootloader> <os> <type>linux</type> <kernel>/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix</kernel> <initrd>/boot/x86.microroot</initrd> <cmdline>/platform/i86xpv/kernel/unix -B console=ttya,livemode=text</cmdline> </os> <memory>1740800</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>destroy</on_reboot> <on_crash>preserve</on_crash> <devices> <interface type='ethernet'> <target dev='vif7.0'/> <mac address='00:16:3E:3f:fb:0f'/> <script path='vif-vnic'/> </interface> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='file'/> <source file='/rpool/iso/inst.iso'/> <target dev='6'/> <readonly/> </disk> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='phy'/> <source dev='/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dom1'/> <target dev='0'/> </disk> <console tty='/dev/pts/4'/> </devices> </domain> -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
