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?
If your looking for production level support, see..
http://www.sun.com/service/opensolaris/
The bits in 2009.06 (3.1.4) do not support a VNC based
para-virtualized graphics backend.
The following should work for you..
virt-install --paravirt --name centos --ram 2038 ---nographics
--os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5 --network bridge --file /rpool/vms/centos
--file-size=20 --location http://heidelberg.rutgers.edu/MYDVD/
A vnc para-virtualized frambuffer is support in our new bits
They are based on 3.3.2-rc1 and are scheduled to be putback in
b118.
i.e. the following just worked for me.
virt-install -n centos5.3 -r 800 -m XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --vnc --noautoconsole
-p -l http://heidelberg.rutgers.edu/MYDVD/ --disk

Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start centos'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.
