Hello,
    Does anyone know that whether Zones can run  in opensolaris.
    I have read ReleaseNote, and it said that :

Zones are not usable on OpenSolaris, due to missing package support and tools.

    But I do notice that there really are some codes about Zones in
opensolaris kernel.
    So I confuse that what the missing package support and tools are.
    Could anyone give me some answer?
    I'm very appreciate in advance.
    Best regard,

When zones are created, the package tools are used to populate the zone filesystem. Those tools aren't yet open.

The source that implements zones is open, and compilable.

If you build the source and BFU a Solaris Express, or Solaris Express Community system, zones will function (as far as I'm aware).

BeleniX apparently has a method to work around the lack of package tools, and zones work there too.

I don't believe they're usable on a SchilliX system, however.
