OK, I see I've fallen into the "What does running SRSS in a local

This question has come up several times, and I honestly don't
understand why.
Looking at it from a very simple standpoint, Zones allows me to take
one computer and make it seem like many. One computer running
separate instances of Solaris as if it were many different computers.
(yes, I know that's not what's going on, but it is made to seem that
way, and from the user standpoint, it is exactly that)
Instead of my old rack full of separate Solaris machines, for
example, I now have a V480, which has a bunch of zones configured,
each of which replaced one of the old machines, duplicating their
functionality in every way. One of those machines served a bunch of
Sun Ray clients. I want a local zone to serve those clients now, as
if it were a standalone machine, with the software installed in the
zone, and related services running in the zone.
Everyone I've talked to who "wants SRSS to run in a zone" is
interested in that.
Indeed!! We are waiting for this feature for years now. Our attempts to
misuse VirtualBox (Solaris instances on Solaris host) for this purpose
have not been that successful yet (machine is dying now and then).
Solaris zones were the better choice if that only worked.

Andreas
