Hi Hanh,

These are logical interfaces. Why would they require considerably more 
memory in LDoms than on bare metal?

I just verified that creating 254 logical interface in an exclusive IP 
Instance non-global zone is not a problem, and the system (V210) has 8GB 
(don't know how much memory this took up).

On an x86 system, doing a similar operation reduced memory by 200KB, and 
that may have been the script as much as the logical interfaces.
