FYI, In AR System 7.0.01 we formally tested Solaris Zones and they are now supported within AR System for 7.0.01 and forward. Documentation about this can be found in the Release notes for AR System 7.0.01. Whole-root and sparse zones are supported and the release notes call out the added criteria if you are using sparse zones.
I would suggest you look all this up on supportweb, but... well... that's a different thread. ;-) We did not specifically test 7.0.00 or previous releases with Solaris Zones. However, there were no code changes necessary to add support for Solaris Zones in AR System 7.0.01. That does not mean that it is formally supported in AR System 7.0.00 (or AR System 6.03), but should indicate that it has a high chance of working properly. No special licensing routines were put into the product to support Solaris Zones. AR System will view each server as if it were running on a physical server. Thus you will to license the servers as if they were running on two physical servers. Trying to "spoof" the host-id or other trickeries to get around this licensing is a violation of the license agreement. To quote the Statement of Direction: "Can I use the same purchased BMC Remedy licenses on multiple virtual machines? No, unless the license you purchased would allow for use on multiple non-virtual systems. "Spoofing" or duplication of MAC or IP addresses to circumvent license agreements is strictly forbidden."
