It depends on the type of virtualization one needs. If you only need the same kernel, then lightweight Solaris Zones, AIX WPARs, or FreeBSD Jails will suit the task at hand.
However, if one needs to run different versions of the kernel or different versions of the OS (Solaris 8/9/10 or AIX 5.2/5.3/6.1), then Solaris Logical Domains or AIX LPARs are the suitable approach. SUN also had (not sure if they still do, but I'd think yes) Dynamic System Domains which are isolated hard partitions. Of all the above virtualization technologies, the only one I haven't used is Solaris Logical Domains. The others I've used and all are great technologies. Use the technology that will help you meet and achieve your goals. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
