[zones-discuss] Zone Isolation Host Protection (vbox in a zone panics system)

2009-06-11 Thread Michael McKnight
Hello everyone, I recently took on a project to run a VirtualBox guest within a whole Solaris zone. The idea was to protect the Solaris system from any crashes vbox might have. I need to run vbox on a production system, but I didn't want to put the whole system at risk. I was using Solaris

[zones-discuss] Can a non-global zone mount an NFS file system from its own global zone?

2009-06-11 Thread Rob Mallory
I'd like to hear the latest on this topic. (in the zones FAQ since 2005) I'm exploring the idea of running lx-brand zones on a Solaris 10-x86 Sunray server, to do light interactive work needing Linux eg: rsh lxzone xterm Potentially, there could be a resource-capped lx-brand zone for each
