Love zones.
Going to set up an oracle server, with separate zones for separate versions of oracle.
cpu and memory limitations per zone work like charm.

We at Sun are pretty happy with Zones as well and we’re looking forward to putting in more enhancements as time goes on. Interested folks should check out the Zones BigAdmin site.

Zones are pretty hot, aren’t they? And don’t forget that you can use DTrace from the global zone to understand which zones are inducing which system activity — just aggregate on the “zonename” variable. For example, “dtrace -n io:::start’{@[zonename] = count()}’” to display the number of I/Os by zone.
