Okay, the version of OpenSolaris is: 
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.11      snv_101b        November 2008
xVM is the 3.1 (whatever is stock with OSOL)
I don't have anything unusual.

The hardware is as such:
Dell 2900, 48G ram, Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5420  @ 2.50GHz
Dual 250G sata drives for the rpool,
8 450G sas drives for the datastore pool.  
It is really fast, does a great job with the exception of the crashing.
And yes, I agree, I'd just run MySQL on Solaris if I could.  It's the vendor 
that's the moron, not me ;)  
eClinicalWorks is so backwards they think that RHEL is a better platform for 
MySQL than OSOL, and they have it in their heads that x86 virtualization is 
somehow superior to zones.  I fought this for about 6 months, but they are 
threatening to pull our contract, so I have to yield to the RHEL madness.  
Anyway, that's why I don't mind it crashing...  it's their fault, eCW is filled 
with idiocy. It's a bit slower now on the RHEL ontop of xVM ontop of Solaris - 
17% or so, but whatever.

Okay, so if there is anything I can do to improve the product, I'd be glad to.  
Consider this a good test platform as this is real data (9 active clinics) with 
a real load.  It's never working the cpu hard at all, just the drives get hit 
pretty good.  eClinicalWorks uses full joins for about 80% of their db 
queries...
