Hi Matthias!

Well, I don't care much about GUI management systems, I care about scripts. > Who would really be using ZFS in the Dom0, if you build bigger environments? I am not sure if you mention this intentionally, but this is exactly the point: For small and mid-sized installations, it is very convenient to have everything "inside one box". You do everything you can with zones, and the rest inside VMs. When you set up your hardware in a proper (redundant) way, you can have the power of Solaris in the global and non-global zones, and run other OSes in VMs. > Dtrace in Dom0 would be useful for the device-drivers only.

Dtrace is certainly useful to detect bottlenecks in VM setup and configuration. Now that there are rumours that Bryan Cantrill has left Oracle, the future development of dtrace is not clear, anyway. > Crossbow might be the only > advantage, that's not deployable in an OVM-like environment.

That's something, that's simply there... ;-) Now you are comparing Apples... erm... Bananas and Oranges. Sorry, you don't really convince me that it was a technologically sound decision. Economically and business-oriented is another story... Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
