Solaris Xen update | 03/31/2007

It's been too long with out any news here, so this will be a brief update on our progress. The project team decided to do code integration in two separate steps. The first part was all non-hypervisor specific changes. You can find more information in the flag day messages for build 57 (look for dboot). The next step will integrate the hypervisor specific changes. We're currently heavily in testing mode, fixing any bugs found, etc. for the 2nd integration. The goal is to finish integration into the Nevada / OpenSolaris soon, so be patient a little longer.

Just some of the things that have changed since the last code drop — 32 bit Solaris uses PAE, dom0 can catch and record Xen crash dumps, better integration with other Solaris network virtualization projects, HVM support, a more "normal" looking installation process for domUs and much, much more.

We discussed doing a more recent code drop to this community a few times over the past months, but the reality is that doing so takes quite a bit of time and effort away from getting the final integration done.
