John,
There are a few ways to run jailed VMs in OpenIndiana. I would look to
see if zones meets your needs as it is a very lightweight way to have
jailed Virtual Machines. As long as you don't care that you're running
OpenIndiana machines, this is very easy to set up and use. There are
some "branded" zones that will allow you to run different versions of
Solaris and Linux, but I never found them to be supported well.
I would start from here:

But if you do some googling, you can find a lot of howto information on
zones.

Hi Folks
I'm very much a newbie to OpenIndiana and would like to ask about
Virtualisation.
My server is at the moment running only as a file server but the plan is to
virtualise a web server and an FTP server separately in their own zones.
Is this feasible, and is there any point? My theory (which may be quashed
shortly) is that by virtualising the servers which would be accessible from
the outside world I would have huge gains in security. I don't have the
space for multiple servers and want to remain slightly green by using only
one if I can get away with it.
In this situation, what would your recommendations be? Does anyone have
experience with configuring zones and could you throw me a couple of
pointers?
Many thanks and all the best, John.
