Goals of the Project

This project aims to fully support OpenSolaris on Xen.  Here's our top-level technology goals:

• x86 and x64 paravirtualized guest kernels supporting dom0, domU, and driver domains

• All reasonable combinations of Solaris, Linux, \*BSD, and other paravirtualized OSes should interoperate.

• Live migration, whole OS checkpoint/resume

• MP limits and scale to match Xen's capabilities

• Maximal portability to enable Solaris-on-Xen ports to other architectures.

• Observability and debugging to enable performance work, RAS, system management, and sustaining.

• Explore trusted platform capabilities.
