I want to start testing out ZFS boot and zfs allow to minimize the delay between the release of U6 and my production deployment. Good observation. I mention this in every Solaris briefing that I do. Get some stick time with this capability using SXCE or OpenSolaris so that you can reduce

How close is Solaris Express build 90 to what will be released as the official Solaris 10 update 6? We just bought five x4500 servers, but I don't really want to deploy in production with U5. There are a number of features in U6 I'd like to have (zfs allow for better integration with our local

...There was a post just this afternoon stating the opensolaris update track would be back to following sxce with b91 so I haven't a clue what you're talking about. As for the features/support they're looking for, if they wanted enterprise infallible storage, a thumper was the wrong choice day 1.
