A kernel panic is a kernel panic is a kernel panic. :-) So if an app crashes the complete zone, chances are it will crash the entire box. After all, it's only one Solaris kernel running. > Does anyone know of a program/script that would bring down a server if it > was running in the glabal zone, but wouldn't take the system down if it ran > in a non-global zone? Out of idle curiosity, it would be interesting to find such a program or script. But I am afraid it would not prove much. Sorry to sound so discouraging. Zones are good for sandboxing apps, sharing hardware in a transparent way, providing uniform service containers for higher-level management (e.g. cluster), for localizing namespaces (uid/gid; /etc/services & ports, etc.) and many other things. Just not for kernel-crash-proofing the physical server. Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
