To what extent will VNIC configuration be included with a Zone configuration? This is similar to Duckhorn, in order to make zones portable there needs to be little to no pre-configuration required in the global zone. I'm unclear if this is implied by "Functional Specification Summery" item 7: "Allow VNICs to be plumbed by Solaris zones".
Ideally, within a Zone definition (/etc/zones/myzone.xml) all information required to configure the VNIC including bandwidth attributes, MAC settings, VLAN tags, etc, would be present so that if a zone was cloned or migrated to another system pre-configuration of the VNIC's needed to support the zones wasn't necessary. benr.
