I use already OpenSolaris at Hetzner for my websites but I'm still porting them from a Ubuntu Linux system to OSOL. I can already give you some advices: 1. Install a Intel e1000 network card (some costs of installation + flexi pack) 2. Install a KVM-PCI card (149 EUR installation costs) (you will probably use it after upgrading OSOL) 3. Upgrade to snv134 WITHOUT upgrading the zpool's because Hetzners OSOL rescue system uses snv111. You will no more be able to mount via ZFS from the rescue system your partitions if you upgrade the zpools (I have not tested, but I don't want to restart to configure again my whole system). -> snv111 is too unstable if you uses zones and IPv4 forwarding with NAT. > runs under Xen and Debian Lenny with four virtual > hosts.

Zones uses a complete different technology than Xen. Xen emulates a PC-compatible system, zones uses running user-space processes isolated in a own operating system environment. brandz: works well but I read its unstable and no more supported. It works for me only with Scientific Linux. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
