Solaris 10 with sparse root zones provides an excellent virtualization solution.
If you want systems that are largely identical (but perhaps with different
applications) then it's pretty much optimal, and very resource efficient.
Agreed. The most efficient form of application stacking with
I have read that document but I do not
see any discussion of how to handle sparse zones ; I am particularly
concerned about the zones which have their own /usr . Will their /usr
partitions be kept in sync and if so *HOW*?
There are 2 parts to this question: sparse vs whole root and how live
Is it not allowed to have non-global zones on an arbitrary
zpool? Who says so?
I bet there is more to the question than was originally asked. Yes,
you can have
non-global zones in ZFS starting with Solaris 10 10/08. If you also use
Live Upgrade *and* you are using ZFS for your root

At this point, not a lot.I can only think of two:the brand and the

No Solaris 10u6 does support zones on zfs, but not as cleanly as nevada,
there are some differences, as new features are integrated into nevada,

Each zone has it's own root directory, regardless of sparse, whole,
native or branded. And you cannot see outside of your root directory
tree unless you have a grossly misconfigured system.
So
Hopefully everyone is aware of the 'update on attach' feature in nv
that allows you to update the zone to match the gz when you migrate
from one system to another. It knows about the SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES pkg
attribute as well as inherited-pkg-dirs and figures out which pkgs to
update. That
