How to setup Xen

NOTE:

You need more than 2GB RAM in your host hardware for creating Virtual Machines using Xen.

It will be better to have about 4GB RAM or even more.

Create new dataset for xen dom0:

beadm create xen
beadm activate xen
reboot

Install packages:

apt-get install xvm xterm xauth tigervnc

Activate Xen dom0:

# vi /lib/svc/method/xvm-milestone
# replace all references of runlevel to runlevel=$(/usr/bin/who -r | /usr/bin/awk '{print $2}')
svcadm enable milestone/xvm
reboot

Create dataset for Xen VMs:

zfs create -o mountpoint=/xen rpool/xen

Example for creation of new dataset for VM:

# we need 10GB hdd for new Xen VM:
zfs create -V 10G rpool/xen/vm01

Add more RAM to dom0:

sudo svccfg -s svc:/milestone/xvm setprop hypervisor/dom0_mem = integer: 11236
sudo svccfg -s svc:/milestone/xvm:default refresh
sudo svcprop xvm | grep "dom0_mem integer" # check new value
sudo reboot
