The XenSource docs won't all apply here since ideally xVM will be
integrated with SMF, but at the moment it's just slightly less than full
of a port, and not the most current either. Maybe the /etc/xen
directory is somewhere else like /usr/sfw since it is GNU licensed.
Maybe if/when Xen is integrated with SMF, a flag will be part of the
guest's configuration file itself, although this would mean there'd need
to be a database like with zones to find the installed guests. Sorry I
can't answer directly, I don't have the current bits still, long story
there. I've only played a little with Indiana (B75) and Xen, and by the
subject, you're on B77, a much newer consolidation of OpenSolaris.
Perhaps the one with the answer is the maintainers/developers for the
Solaris specific port, because as far as I can guess it's just not
implemented yet, due to roadmaps, porting difficulties, or perhaps it's
under another name.
