Dear Boris,

I have changed my opensolaris vm configuration. Please see

I see my OpenSolaris guest sending DHCPDISCOVER and my OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit 
Dom 0 Xen host sending DHCPOFFER but the OpenSolaris virtual machine is not 
setting the offered dynamic IP address to it's virtual NIC.

View:-

  

   http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=104509&tstart=75

  

  To switch OSOL DomU run with static IP:-

  

  pfexec svcadm disable network/physical:nwam && \

  pfexec svcadm enable  network/physical:default

  pfexec ifconfig xnf0 down

  pfexec ifconfig xnf0 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492

  pfexec ifconfig xnf0 up

  pfexec route add default 192.168.1.102

  

  which i can/do @ installer time to use static IP assignements.  i just

  can't seem to get them to 'stick' or 'be happy' after reboot and xen,

  run-time launch.

  

  Use the same commands with the installed system.

  

  To make the settings permanent you also need (Jurgen Keil) :

  

  echo 192.168.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1492 > /etc/hostname.xnf0

  

  rm /etc/dhcp.xnf0

  

  echo 192.168.1.102 > /etc/defaultrouter

  

  

  Boris.

At the moment there is only
    one network card installed on my lab PC in my company running OpenSUSE 
11.1
    32-bit with Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 kernel 2.6.30-rc6 (jeremy). So when 
there
    are more network cards installed, there will be eth0, eth1, eth2 
ethernet
    bridges, etc.

    

    Then I can assign the virtual network card in each virtual machine to a
    specific ethernet network bridge (out of many bridges) in Domain 0 using
    the vif command in guest domain configuration.

This means that OSOL installer (by default ) will
      issue DHCPDISCOVER via your Xen bridge, looking for DHCP server on 
your
      LAN. Only on RHEL 5.3

      (F10 with Xen 3.3.1 src.rpm been installed along with generated 
packages)
      with libvirtd & dnsmasq up and running you can specify 

       vif=['bridge=virbr0' ] to detect DHCP Server at your Dom0. 

      

      View for instance :-

[http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/backport-zfs-support-to-xen-331-f10-dom0-kernel-2630-rc3-tip/]

      

      I don't have any experience with OpenSuse 11.1 . I hardly remind they
      tried to reproduce RH's technology. Most probably they did it in SLES 
11
      (not sure). Check for libvirtd&dnsmasq daemons up and running.

      But if your OpenSuse 11.1 Dom0 is on "dhcp" bridge itself ,
      then no problems. Just vif=['bridge=eth0'].

      

      Boris.

Dear Boris,

      

      This means I have to install a DHCP server or dnsmasq in my Dom 0,
      listening on my Dom 0's IP address, so that it can assign dynamic IP
      addresses to the DomU.

      

      By the way, are there any paravirtualized device drivers that I can
      install in DomU to improve the performance of the virtual machine?

      

      Thank you.

        Login as jack/jack to text console.

        

        Wait until :-

        

        $ pfexec ifconfig -a

        

        will show up your IPv4 address 

        

        $ mkdir .vnc

        $ cp .Xclients .vnc/xstartup

        $ vncserver

        

        Connect via vncviewer IP-DomU:1 from another terminal session to 
OSOL
        DomU. In case OSOL installer will fail to obtain IP via 
DHCPDISCOVER,

        let me know. It might happen and requires Solaris Kernel Model 
Debugger

        to disable checksum offloading at boot up. Seems to be hardware

Dear
        All,

        

        I am trying to install OpenSolaris 2009.06 32-bit paravirtualized 
guest
        on OpenSUSE 11.1 32-bit paravirt-ops enabled Xen 3.4.1-rc8 Dom 0 
Kernel
        2.6.30-rc6.

        

        However, I am getting an opensolaris console login prompt. There is 
no
        GNOME DE for me to launch the GUI installer for OpenSolaris. I am 
using
        the OpenSolaris LiveCD 32-bit. 

        

        I noticed under the guest domain configuration there is a parameter
        called 'extra' kernel parameter. Does the 'nowin' argument stand for 
no
        graphical windows?

[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zzjv8MCM2sk/SmoT5uzjF6I/AAAAAAAAAFU/2Y3KNWPUwWk/s1600-h/05.jpeg]

        

        Then I also get the "invalid disk device number (768)" error.
        Do I need to use xvda instead of hda?

        

        Thank you very much.

Teo, it is up to you how to manage, if
          you just having fun. 

          Otherwise, downloading 64-bit OpenSuse 11.1 ISO image 

          takes just 12-14 hr even at slow ADSL speed ( like 100 KB/sec). 

          Install takes 30 minutes and brings you to the trusted results,
          instead 

          of wasting a lot of time in case of business environment 
assignment. 

          Pasi has 32-bit experience due to hardware limitations, which you
          don't 

          have. 

          

          Boris.

Dear Boris,
          

          
My colleague installed OpenSUSE 11.1
          32-bit on the Core 2 Duo machine in our labs. Please see my 
earlier
          replies in the same topic.
          

          
I was too lazy to reformat and install
          64-bit OpenSUSE, so I proceeded with Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel
          compilation on 32-bit Linux host.
          

          
I admit I am getting a lot of headache.
          Haha.

Once again, i don't
            see any reason to to run 32-bit OS on Core2Duo, 

            unless you like Xen head ache. Core development (PVOPS) is
            obviously 

            running in 64-bit environment.

That is not supposed to happen. I would suggest clean OS (without
              any built in xen presence) install , followed by  Xen
              3.4.1+pvops kernel clean install.

Dear All,
              

              
I am very puzzled.
              In investigating the cause of the sudden success of the CentOS
              4.7 32-bit PV guest being able to run, I have uninstalled
              virt-manager and all of its dependencies:
              

              
docbook
              
python-gtk-vnc
              
xen-libs 3.3.1
              
scrollkeeper
              
xen-tools 3.3.1
              
libvirt 0.4.6
              
libvirt-python
              
vm-install 0.3.24
              

              
Then I proceeded to
              "make uninstall" in xen-3.4-testing source tree, which
              also removed my self compiled Xen Dom 0 pvops enabled kernel,
              initrd and kernel modules.
              

              
After doing the
              above, I re-installed back the Xen hypervisor, libraries and
              tools, and also the kernel, initrd, and modules. Then I 
proceeded
              to reboot my machine. After rebooting, my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV
              guest is still able to start and run!
              

              
I am still very
              puzzled! What causes the PV guest initially cannot start? Then
              what subsequently causes the PV guest to suddenly be able to
              start and run???
              

              
***scratches head***
              

              
Anyway my CentOS 4.7
              guest domain is now running. I shall now proceed to virtualize
              OpenSolaris 2009.06.
              

              
Thank you.

Hi Pasi,
              

              
It's very strange.
              Suddenly my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is able to start!!!
              Previously it refuses to start at all.
              

              
I think I must have
              changed something in Dom 0 when I attempted "yast --install
              virt-manager". This action might have solved the problem.
              When I tried to install virt-manager, it also tries to install
              xen-libs-3.3.1 and xen-tools-3.3.1 as dependencies. However, I
              started off my Xen Dom 0 pvops kernel install with Xen 3.4.1 
rc8
              branch.
              

              
I need to
              investigate more why suddenly my CentOS 4.7 32-bit PV guest is
              able to start.

Hi Pasi,
              

              
I realized that
              Fedora 10 32-bit anaconda installer does not install PAE 
kernel
              after mounting the guest disk image file. I mounted the guest
              disk image file using losetup and kpartx which adds device 
nodes
              to /dev/mapper. I examined the /boot directory after mounting 
the
              guest disk image file and found no PAE vmlinuz and initrd.
              

              
Still using the
              mounted Fedora 10 32-bit guest disk image file, I changed root 
to
              the guest disk filesystems and attempted to install the PAE
              kernel. Then I modified menu.lst to boot the PAE kernel. After
              modifying the grub configuration of the guest domain, I
              un-mounted the guest filesystem.
              

              
I proceeded to boot
              the F10 32-bit guest, since I changed to PAE kernel. It is 
able
              to boot now (since the PAE kernel is xen-aware) but then it
              complains cannot mount /dev/root. Probably something to do 
with
              the PAE initrd file.

              Fedora 10 installer has a bug, as a default it installs 
non-PAE
              kernel for 

              xen domU. You need to use a kickstart script (like this) to 
fix
              it: 

              http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg 
[http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f10-xen-domu-ks.cfg]
              

              

              The important lines being: 

              

              -kernel 

              kernel-PAE 

              

              (Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 default kernels are compiled with 
pv_ops
              Xen domU 

              support enabled, so there's no need for separate kernel-xen 
with
              these distros). 

              

              Fedora 11 doesn't have that installer bug, so it installs 
right 

              out-of-the-box as Xen domU. 

              

              What's the error you get when you start the guest after
              installation? 

              Please paste the "xm log" as text. 

              

              I don't have any problems with CentOS 5.3 dom0.
