A dom0 with 4G and 2 cores should be plenty to run ZFS and the support necessary for a reasonable (<16) paravirtualised domains. If the guest domains end up using HVM then the dom0 load is higher, but we haven't done the work to quantify this properly yet. dme. -- David Edmondson, Solaris Engineering, http://dme.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
