Hi darren,
 
         Is the crossbow functionality available in solaris 5.10.Bcz i have to
create 6 zones on Sun Fire T2000 but it has only 4 physical NICs. Can you please
give me any idea of creating VNICs.

It''s not in Solaris 10; it''s in OpenSolaris.  In general, new
features
go into the release under development, not the intended-to-be-highly-
reliable-and-stable patch stream.

If these are regular (shared IP stack instance) zones that you''re
creating, then this shouldn''t be an issue.  They just need distinct IP
addresses, not separate NICs.

If these are exclusive IP stack instance zones, then you can use
separate VLANs instead.  Four NICs should allow you to create 16376
separate interfaces that way.

For what it''s worth, Solaris 10 isn''t OpenSolaris, but this
list is on
opensolaris.org.  You might want to consider upgrading to OpenSolaris or
talking with Sun''s support group about Solaris 10 support plans.

Thanks for your valuable and fast response. I want build LDAP on these zones for
dev environment so i wanted to have some robustness in the NIC allocation. Since
i have 4 NICs available on the server i am going to allocate shred ips as two
zones/NIC for now. Any suggestions on this ?

Thanks,
Suman
