I think you're confusing two things. One is the conversion of 'ce' to GLDv3. That might or might not happen -- I know of at least one person who is quite interested in it, but I don't know whether the work will get done. Given the number of ... special ... features in that driver, it'd be an interesting job to say the least. The other is the support of the ioctls necessary for assignment of links to a zone, which is needed to support the "exclusive IP stack" feature, and the tweaks to zoneadmd to make it work. This *HAS* been done and is on a path for release. In S10 currently, the only framework that supports the feature is GLDv3, which is why the "exclusive IP stack" is tied to GLDv3 support. But non-GLDv3 drivers can also be modified (with some difficulty) to support the feature, and that's what's being done for 'ce.' -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list [email protected]
