If you run into issues when following my previous blog then you may running into problem with sysevent daemon.
If that happens here is what you need to do:
once done installing all the package and rebooting with the Sun xVM server option in the boot menu from the dom0 issues the following command.

Cut and paste everything in between ---- this line to your terminal and hit return and then you should be able to proceed with domU creation.

The error is like as:

bash-3.2# xm create -c install.py

Using config file "./install.py".
bash-3.2# Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

BASEDIR=${BASEDIR:-/}

/usr/sbin/syseventadm list -R $BASEDIR -c EC_xendev > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/syseventadm add -R $BASEDIR -c EC_xendev \
/usr/lib/xen/scripts/xpvd-event 'action=$subclass' \
'domain=$domain' 'vdev=$vdev' 'device=$device' \
'devclass=$devclass' 'febe=$fob'

/usr/sbin/syseventadm list -R $BASEDIR -c EC_xpvsys > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/syseventadm add -R $BASEDIR -c EC_xpvsys \
/usr/lib/xen/scripts/xpvsys-event 'subclass=$subclass' \
'shutdown=$shutdown'

# restart daemon if the package is being added to the running system
if [ "$BASEDIR" = "/" -a $? -eq 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/syseventadm restart
fi
