Sorry I don't know which specific post you refer to? I am already running
ESXi with OI on top and serving back to the other guests. Ned made a good
point that running a virtualization solution on top
What was wrong with the suggestion to use VMWare ESXi and Nexenta or

Dan,
If you are going to do the all in one with vbox, you probably want to look
at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vboxsvc/
It manages the starting/stopping of vbox vms via smf.
Kudos to Jim Klimov for creating and maintaining it.

Thanks Eugen.
yea, i am with Hetzner, but no hardware passthough... As for ESXi, i am
happy with it, but its not booting from USB... its using the disk to boot
from... I am thinking of using a USB key to boot from though... just need
to figure out how to remotely do this and if i should...
Thanks
