I'm unable to create a centos domU on Opensolaris 2009.6. I had no problem following the instructions to make Solaris a dom0. The same process worked just fine with the GUI virtual machine manager under OpenSUSE 11.1. For a number of reasons I'd prefer to use Opensolaris as my Dom0, but not if it going to be a battle to get everything to work. Is Xen actually a production-quality system on Opensolaris?
