I'm submitting this fast-track for Baban Kenkre and Rishi Srivatsavai.
The timer is set for 04/09/2010. The release binding is Minor.
This case adds exclusive IP stack support to Solaris 10 containers.
The initial Solaris 10 container case only added support for the
shared IP stack model (see PSARC/2009/253). Adding exclusive IP stack
support involves identifying which features use user/kernel interfaces
that have changed incompatibly between Solaris 10 and now (preventing
such features from working correctly in s10c), and implementing
techniques described in the Solaris 10 Branded Zone Developer Guide[1]
to make them work. Therefore, this case doesn't introduce any new
interfaces, but simply describes the architecture introduced to make
existing features work in a Solaris 10 container.
The design document included in the materials directory [2] contains
details of how each feature that comprises exclusive IP stack support
is handled by this project. The document also enumerates features
that traditionally work in exclusive IP stacks, but that will not be
supported even after this project integrates. With the exception of
those features, a Solaris 10 branded zone should behave the same way
as a native Solaris 10 zone running on Solaris 10.
