Re: [Xen-users] OpenSolaris domU on RedHat Linux dom0

[Viswanath Durbha <Durbha.Viswanath@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I finally have my OpenSolaris domU up and running by using 'xvda' instead of '0'. But I want to emphasize here that 'xvda' has to be used while installing from iso as well as when running it after installation. Using '0' while installing and 'xvda' after install did not work for me.

I have couple of more questions.

1. How do we use the domU disk image of OpenSolaris and provision many domU's using LVM partitions? In other words, can we clone it to create many copies?
2. Is it possible to assign static ip address to domU from the configuration file itself with parameters like ip=x.x.x.x and netmask=x.x.x.x etc?

Thanks,
Viswanath
