No, my mistake... when you get old, you begin to lose track of dates... Solaris 10 would be 8/07 (aka update 4). Solaris Express is probably not what you want for a production system.

Re: [zones-discuss] [zfs-discuss] 3510 Array and ZFS/Zones
The 9/07 release appears to be for X86 only. The 8/07 release appears to be for Sparc or X86. The 9/07 release is also titled " Express Developers Edition 9/07". Apparently not a release I can use. Thanks for the quick feedback. When is the next release for Sparc due out?

I think this should be 8/07 ( Solaris 10 update 4 ) If so then it's on the download site ( or should be ) and works for SPARC/x86 ( same as any Solaris 10 release ) What writeup are you looking at?

Is this a release that can be downloaded from the website and will work on SPARC systems. The write up says it is for VMware. Am I missing something? >Use Solaris 10 9/07.

We can't answer the question "is it the best way?" because we would need more detailed information on what you are trying to accomplish and how you want to make design trade-offs.
