Hi, I have been working on a little project that might suit your needs. It is in the final testing phase, and not public until now I guess, but should work well for what you are doing. It uses OI, OmniOS of Solaris11 as a storge / VM management server and allows you to run VMs anywhere you like. VMs can be run on the server, or other computers running any OS, even supports PXE.
easy to install #pkg set-publisher -g http://repository.techsologic.com techsologic.com #pkg install infinity/server check out www.techsologic.com if you are interested.
