A question that I repeatedly get from customers is directly
related to what you write:
S10 is still a very dynamic
release so the interpositioning layer would need constant
work to cope with the on-going changes in the
kernel/user-land boundary.
Is this interface not limited to a fixed set of system calls? And maybe the
definition of what is in /proc and other virtual file systems?
But I always believed that these interfaces are documented and
compatible from release to release. How can this keep zones from
moving freely, whatever their patch level and update release?
Grateful for any ray of light you can shine on this

Hello,
Congratulations on a job well done.

when i read the details, i think we need a solaris 10 branded zone.
with a branded zone the central patching from the global zone is not applied.
there is no SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES package for a branded zone (linux, solaris8),
without this package and patch dependencies between global and non-global zones
you can move/migrate a branded zone to other system everytime ( the patch/pkg
content must not be in sync).
the only requirement to host a solaris8 brand on a new system is a KU patch and
the two new packages.
what do you think about a solaris 10 branded zone ?
Mario,
While it would be possible to do this, it is in some sense
harder than it was for S8. S10 is still a very dynamic
release so the interpositioning layer would need constant
work to cope with the on-going changes in the
kernel/user-land boundary.
As far as easily moving a zone around, take a look at
6480464 RFE: zoneadm attach should patch/update the zone to
the new hosts level
Now that the S8MA project is done I am planning to get back
to this RFE. This is a much more straightforward solution
to the problem than a new brand.
