Hi Pasi,

i=E2=80=99m using both addresses, but = probably @gmale missed some emails with maillist.
About DilOS + Xen.

i=E2=80=99m using = xen-3.4 - old version what i backported to DilOS based on old = opensolaris varsion and upadted it to use python2.7 and some others zfs = updates - more updates :)
i tried to port Xen-4.3, = but not finished it yet because i have no found sponsors and i have been = moved to some aonther job without DilOS/illumos activities.
try to do it by free time was/is overhead.

i have plans try to = return back and look at latest Xen.

right now i try to move DilOS bulid env = to use more Debian style build env and to use gcc-5.4 as primary = compiler.
Also, i have SPARC support with DilOS and = it eat some additional free time.
please do not = drop solaris support :) - i=E2=80=99ll use and update it soon - probably = on next year.
I have a lot of updates on my = dilos-illumos fork for xen support.
and i have no = illumos as is - i have more additional changes on my tree - for example: = i=E2=80=99m using gcc5 as primary compiler intead of others illumos = distributions still using gcc44.

Right now DilOS can work as dom0 with = pv/hvm guests, but with old xen-3.4.
you can find = examples for guests at:
https://dilos-dev.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DS/Xen

and sorry for missed = something - xen-devel maillist is very active and i have no a lot of = time to read it now :)
ping me directly to my dilos.org email if you need = some additional info.

best regards,
-Igor

Is this still required? If yes, all = of it?

Google tells me Oracle has dropped = XVM support on Solaris.
Openindiana seems to have replaced = XVM by a KVM port.


In 2014 there was some work being done by Igor Kozhukhov = (CC'd) to get Illumos (Opensolaris) Xen support improved / working..

Illumos Xen 4.3 port status:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-01/ms= g02240.html

Illumos Xen dom0:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/ms= g00146.html

Illumos PV domU support:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/ms= g01160.html

Let's hope Igor can comment if = he's still working on Illumos Xen stuff..
