i'm 1st-installing 2009.06 as a Xen DomU guest on a Linux (Opensuse 11.1) Dom0.
following advice at,
"How to Set up OpenSolaris 2008.11 or later as a Paravirtual Guest"
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/opensolaris_domu/
@
xm create -c my_solaris_cfg
i get to the
opensolaris console login: jack
Password: jack
...
j...@opensolaris:~$
then
su -
Password: opensolaris
...
r...@opensolaris:~#
setup for static IP,
svcadm disable network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable network/physical:default
ifconfig xnf0 down
ifconfig xnf0 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig xnf0 up
route add default 192.168.1.102
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
echo "nameserver 192.168.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
logout
...
j...@opensolaris:~$
setup for VNC use,
mkdir .vnc;cp .Xclients .vnc/xstartup
vncserver
Password: testpass
Verify: testpass
then connect with a VNC client to 192.168.1.1:5901
then @ OpenSolaris Desktop, click on "Install OpenSolaris" and proceed
from there ...
instead of the _manual_ interaction, as above, (how) can the above
static_IP, DNS & VNC setup be passed to the iso-based installer from
the DomU's xen cfg file?
for Opensuse DomU guest installer, i'd add, e.g. (for a network install),
extra = '... autoyast=nfs://192.168.1.9/os11/autoyast.xml
install=http://(mirror_path)/opensuse/distribution/11.1/repo/oss?device=eth0
hostip=192.168.1.102/24 gateway=192.168.1.1 nameserver=192.168.1.1'
where 'autoyast' in *suse's installer-scripting config language.
does same exist for opensolaris? can it be used for an
opensolaris-as-guest install? either from lomount'ed .iso, or from
network?
thanks.
