Anyway, should I forget SMP on Solaris Guest?
For VirtualBox, yes - for now. There is a Solaris/OpenSolaris forum at http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewforum.php?f=20 that might be of help for you. There is also a mailing list where you can ask the question.
I don't recall any particular problems with Solaris 10 SMP guests on Xen, as long as you have hardware virtualization since Solaris 10 is not paravirutalized.
Should I do it on W2K3 guest? Will ioapic slow down my machine if I want more cpus?
I've been running Fedora SMP guests on VirtualBox 3.1.2 and 3.1.4 for quite a few computational workloads with no problems. I don't have any experience running Win2k3 guests for anything other than a smoke test. IOAPIC is required for more than one CPU. I think the warning was for a single CPU guest, not an SMP guest.
