As you already know that I installed
openSolaris build 75 recently and promised to blog more about the
xVM. Good news, I managed to install
CentOS 5 after a lot of attempts based on CDROM, Hard Disk, NFS, ...
I copied ISO images of CentOS5, openSUSE 10.3, and Solaris 10 U4 to the SunFire X4600. I tried to install a guest xvm on top of the openSolaris using DVD and ISO, but no luck in any of these. Same for NFS installation, the "virt-install" command just complained that it cannot find the NFS server. However, I was able to mount it manually.
Today, I tried the HTTP method and CentOS 5 worked but the others just failed. The CentOS 5 ISO was mounted using the LOFI ("lofiadm -a") followed by "mount -F hsfs". The mount point will be the "DocumentRoot" for the Apache web server. Below shows some of the details:
Make sure you boot up openSolaris xVM (this is not the default)
root@opensolaris# uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_75 i86pc i386 i86xpv
root@opensolaris# svcs -a | grep xvm
online Oct_30 svc:/system/xvm/store:default
online Oct_30 svc:/system/xvm/xend:default

root 366 1 0 Oct 30 ? 0:30 python /usr/lib/xend start
For installation, you need "virt-install" (install guest operating system on xVM system) and
"virsh" (management user interface for guest domains). You can either supply all the necessary arguments to virt-install. If insufficient details in creating the domain, it will prompt you for the details. By default, 1 CPU will be allocated to the guest domain. In this exercise, I forced it to use 4 'cos I have 16 CPUs in the server. You can always shutdown the domain and change the number of vcpu. In this domain, I allocated 4 CPUs, 4 GB memory and 10GB of disk space. The whole domain of 10GB will be housed in 1 file and you will see that this file has been used as lofi (loop back file system).
root@opensolaris# virt-install -vcpus=4
What is the name of your virtual machine? centos5
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 4096
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /data/xvm/centos5.xvm
How large would you like the disk (/data/xvm/centos5.xvm) to be (in gigabytes)? 10
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the install location? http://10.0.12.251/centos5/
