Doesn't that imply that all zones will be running at all times? I would imagine there are so many scenarios between DR, fault management automatically offlining DIMMs, etc. that would make such a thing more complicated than it might first appear (though this is just all speculation on my part). What I would expect is that if a zone has a cap more than what's available, that it would error out (i.e. in your scenario, the last zone to boot would fail). _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
