[Xen-users] Solaris dom0, prebuilt domU?

[Michael Jinks <mjinks@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi List.

I'm still feeling my way through my first Solaris dom0, after a few
successful experiences with Linux dom0.  Getting a Solaris domU is nice
and easy, but now I need to start building Linux systems.

Following the directions at opensolaris.org, it looks like virt-install
really wants to run a classic "install CD" with a domU-aware kernel,
but I don't have such a thing since our Linux of choice is Gentoo.  (I
could patch a Gentoo-minimal CD with a new kernel, but I haven't quite
figured out the mechanics of that yet.)

I do have abundant resources for pre-building system images, which is
what I generally do for all our VMware guests, but I haven't figured out
how to take a built guest image and run it on a Solaris dom0.

It looks like I might be able to hand-roll an xVM xml config file, but I
haven't been able to find documentation for that, and the examples I
have from virt-install have comments at the top which warn against
hand-editing.

So I need a clue.

Thanks,
--Michael
