This screenshot was taken on May 22?

Yes; the dates are not wrong. I had just gotten Vista running, but never got around to posting the screenshot anywhere.

Thanks for the reply.
<p>Would you be able to post your recipe (for installing xVM and running Windows in Solaris)?
Posted by W. Wayne Liauh on September 18, 2007 at 04:58 PM PDT #
yes a recipe for that would be great! i'm about to get windows running on a solaris box soon so any hints are highly welcome ;-)

Funny that you are clamoring for a recipe; early today I sent our docs writer a draft of an article tentatively entitled "Instant Windows - a recipe for running Windows as a Guest on Solaris xVM."
She should have it posted on our opensolaris site shortly.

Which builds contain xVM?
Posted by Ceri Davies on September 19, 2007 at 04:43 AM PDT #
opensolaris.org has a build 66-based xVM drop (the project is still called Xen on opensolaris, but will soon be renamed to xVM). We just integrated into the mainline Nevada tree, build 75, so once that is available externally I recommend using it instead as it will have all of the latest fixes.

Awesome, I'll wait for build 75, thanks for the info and your work!

Danke für die Blumen, irgendjemand muß doch auch einmal die Highlights von Opensolaris erwähnen - Linux war gestern ;-)
Aber persönlich bin ich erst wirklich glücklich, wenn auf meinem neu bestellten Rechner selbiges Bild wie oben erscheint. Ich benötige zum Arbeiten einige "Windows-only"-Anwendungen und freue mich schon darauf jetzt die Rollen der Systeme (Wirt und Gast) zu tauschen. Nebenbei lerne ich dann auch noch Xen kennen.

Am I correct in assuming that I need a processor with VT/AMD-V support to run XP/Vista with xVM?
Posted by MattM on September 20, 2007 at 06:18 PM PDT #
Yes, that is correct. Opteron rev F or later, or Intel with VT.

Very cool. Congratulations to the matrix team.
There's one thing visibly wrong in this screen shot -
there are four clocks visible on the screen (from four
different VMs, I believe), and no two of them display
the same time. Yes, I know this is one of the rough
edges on most virtualization technologies, but it's
sad nonetheless.

Quick Windows recipe is now up; there is a link to it just before the screenshot.
