It means that we're going to remove the support for the lx brand from the next release of Solaris. The reasons are primarily because the brand never received any real adoption, it is outdated since it only emulates the 2.4 kernel, and there is a high cost associated with maintaining this. There are also better better alternatives now that weren't as widely available when the brand was developed. In particular, VirtualBox does support the 2.6 kernel and is freely available on OpenSolaris. > I have many lx branded zone. > > Can we use lxbrand, in future? > Or, lxbrand will be alternative of lx26 brand? Since the code is already open source, people outside of Oracle can continue to maintain it, if they are interested, or even enhance the code to properly support the 2.6 kernel. I would be happy to sponsor any bug fixes into the base ON code that are needed for the brand to work. If there is any interest in that, please let me know.
