Hi Steffen, Thanks.
FYI - My initial goal was to evaluate the create-vnic facility in dladm (in the context of an initiative to re-architect an existing systems provisioning paradigm to provide more flexibility in service support with e.g. greater autonomy for "system owners" within zones and a more mature/feature rich consolidation model, etc.). As an initial pre-requisite I wanted to run load-test/soak test comparisons of a vnic and a "standard" interface (exclusively assigned) within a zone to quantify any performance variances between the two. Our experience is with Solaris; that is what we have under contract and what our Customers by default select to run their mission critical applications on. For these reasons and a few others, it therefore initially seemed the optimal approach to see if it was possible to "bolt"/splice Crossbow into the Solaris 10 kernel, rather than switching to OpenSolaris. Anyway, I guess on review the approach is to wait for the Crossbow features I need to be integrated with Standard Solaris ...and hope it happens soon enough to be leveraged. Thanks once again for all the help and info.

Thanks for the info, James! I was hoping users could do this themselves. I do have bugster access and would also be willing to add SRs to it. Please contact me directly if you are not able to use the support route. I would need name, company, priority, justification (such as your business impact), etc. The more info the better.
