No, I'm not doing anything to the boot of xVM. I used to do that on my linux versions of xen, but got out of the habit when I saw xVM managing it okay on it's own. Plus, I didn't read where they wanted that to happen. Guess I'll give that a shot. But what about ZFS? doesn't it want just a ton of memory? Seems like I should have a bunch around for that. That's why I asked for 48G ram on these machines ;) this is my grub entry: title Solaris xVM findroot (pool_rpool,0,a) kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz module$ /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix /platform/i86xpv/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive > What version of Opensolaris are you using? Are you using stock Xen bits (that > come with opensolaris)? The bug looks familiar, but I'll have to do some > searching... Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_101b November 2008 and yes, stock xVM. Now, I've tried xVM on another 2900 configured identically to this one with the Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.11 snv_111b November 2008 version - have it running right now, and performance is really bad there. It's so slow it's unreal, so I just quit on that and went back to the one that worked pretty well. Boot times on the newer 0906 version are around 20 minutes for rhel5.2 and centos 5.3 won't even boot after being installed. That's why I quit there - had something that worked, why complain ;) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
