Anyone working on porting Xen 3.0 to OpenBSD?
I think you mean porting OpenBSD to Xen so you can run OpenBSD as a
guest domain (domU).
Actually, what I would like to do is replace linux in xen/linux with OpenBSD.
However, that may be too much work. I do like having OpenBSD as my interface
to the internet.
NetBSD can also be used as the privileged domain (dom0) running under
Xen 2.0 (though not yet under Xen 3.0), so the NetBSD sources are still
a useful starting point for you if you're planning to pursue porting
OpenBSD to Xen to run as a privileged domain.
However, I think it's probably more useful to start by porting OpenBSD
as a guest domain -- you're going to want to run all your services in
guest domains anyway to take advantage of the security-through-isolation
that Xen provides. In my own setups, the only critical thing that dom0
does is keeping the clock accurate for the guest domains, though it
might make sense to also provide, e.g. DNS or DHCP services in dom0 as well.
