To get Solaris 10/08 and Intrepid Server HVM able obtain IP address via bridge
i had to use vif = ['bridge=eth0'] in profiles like :-
root@boris-desktop:/etc/xen/vm# cat intrepid.hvm
kernel = “/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader”
builder = ‘hvm’
memory = 1024
name = “IntrepidHVM”
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb14,hda,w!','phy:/dev/loop0,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = ‘/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm’
vnc=1
boot=’c’
Turning virtual NIC into a paravirtualized mode instead of a fully virtualized.
When vif=['type=ioemu,bridge=eth0'] HVM fails to bring up virtual network interface.
Solaris 10/08 does have PV drivers,but Ubuntu Intrepid Server worked with
vif=['type=ioemu,bridge=eth0'] at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0
