How many commands should one run to be able to create a VNIC with some link speed and CPU assignments necessary to configure a virtual machine? Keep in mind that people do run thousands of zones on one machine. This was a very strong feedback from most of the virtualization customers and they love the current mechanism of running one command per virtual machine/zone. Think from a user perspective as well. As for the properties, we have bw limits, cpus and pri today and there are more to come. Cheers, Sunay
