Xen 3.4.2 Sun xVM (3.4.2-rc1-xvm)

[Update:]
Sun xVM 3.4.2 is available via source. The version below is outdated, please look at
http://southbrain.com/south/2009/11/sun-xvm-342-dom0-min-mem.html




The result of the Mercurial source tree snapshot from opensolaris.org from Oct 06, 2009 built as non-debug packages - can be found here:

http://southbrain.com/software/xvm/3.4.2-rc1-xvm/

Be sure to remove the OpenSolaris packages with the same name before.  :)

Take this "AS-IS" without any warranty of any kind. I am not endorsed to Sun nor I take any responsibility for these packages. I used the OpenSolaris xvm-3.4 gate from Oct 06,2009. Xen version is 3.4.2-rc1-xvm.

It works well with snv_126.

Because I can not remove these packages?

$ pfexec pkg uninstall SUNWxvmdomr SUNWxvmdomu
Creating Plan \
pkg: The following pattern(s) did not match any packages in the current catalog.
Try relaxing the pattern, refreshing and/or examining the catalogs:
SUNWxvmdomr
SUNWxvmdomu


$ pfexec pkginfo | grep dom
system SUNWxvmdomr Hypervisor Domain Tools (Root)
system SUNWxvmdomu Hypervisor Domain Tools (Usr)


pardon.........

# pkg uninstall SUNWxvmipa
# pkg uninstall SUNWxvmdom

On osol-128a (64-bit) :-
# pkgadd -d SUMWlibvirt.pkg
or any other *.pkg file downloaded via the most recent link
cannot be found in the current directory.
Does pkgadd on SNV_128 differ from it's OSOL's verion ?

Boris.
P.S.
Sorry for unprofessional questions.

The packages you downloaded with the most recent link (I presume you are talking about the 3.4.2 packages) are namend "SUNW.....3.4.2.pkg", so just put the real filename after the "-d" of pkgadd.

Don't forget to do a pkg uninstall to remove the xvmdom-packages before.

osol-128a does the trick as Dom0 (I presume you bfu'd it from snv_127).

As for OpenSolaris as DomU no additional hacks are necessary (you won't need these packages!). OpenSolaris runs fine as DomU under a Linux Xen 3.4.2 installation.

I've put correct names before, but now it works. It's a kind of miracle.
Xen 3.4.2 Dom0 is installed on fresh OS-128a instance with no previous xvm presence.
Thank you.

@maccu
What NIC you have installed at OSOL Dom0 ?
Is it Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet (PCI-E or PCI).
If this is the case , it won't work with xVM ( GLDV3 is required).
