Hi Everyone,
I need some good information on zone and Containers in solaris 10..
Seems like zone and container does the same job but called by different name,
question
1.good review or just notes on how to transfer zones/container from one system to another.
2.creating new zones and container
3.Networking Global zones and local zones.
4.Can i able to run linux box in solaris zone/container
and bit of information onLDOM and differentiate from zone/containers
5.Troubleshooting information on zone and container
This are just basic questions but i need expert advice to go in depth on zones /container troubleshoot.
I have a project coming up soon to construct zones and container .
I am trying my best to gather information if get into any problem troubleshooting ..

Zones are a light weight form of virtualization, with a single OS image shared in memory. A zone can have its own hostname and IP address and appears externally like a separate system. It differs from an
LDOM because there is only one copy of the kernel in memory, so if the system panics all of the zones
go down.
A container is a zone plus resource controls. Resource controls are used to limit the resources (memory,
swap, cpu) used by a zone, lowering the impact that the zone can have on the rest of the system and
the other zones.

as per you comment, Zone is single OS image shared in memory.
what is the difference between container and zone.
--- A container is a zone plus resource controls ?? what you meant by resource controls
*******************
I am still unable to fine documentation on zones and containers, like standard sun documentation on zones(configuration /troubleshoot ). I am unsure what they called after oracle took over.
Thanks

This is the Solaris zones and containers FAQ:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zones/faq
Many of your questions are answered in this document.
It is almost impossible to answer questions like "how do I troubleshoot a zone" in general. I suggest you open a new questions in EE when you have a specific troubleshooting question.
One thing I can answer: zones are software partitions of the OS, LDOMs are hardware partitions on a machine. Zones are a more flexible way to partition a machine, LDOMs are less flexible but offer more resilience against OS crashes.
