That is very interesting. Xen with Nagios & other OSS to manage things. Low cost up front and very workable. We''ll have to see what comes out. With Solaris having the Branded Zones concept coming online maybe we could use this as the management console? Thanks for the link Ed, it is very interesting.

I agree, very nice.... The greater question is can we make it work on Zones without branding today? Biggest problem with zones management is everything out there wants to edit the XML files rather than use the tools the right way. -- Ron -----Original Message----- From: xen-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org [mailto:xen-discuss-bounces at opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Tim McMurphy Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:33 AM To: xen-discuss at opensolaris.org Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Enomalism That is very interesting.

Yea even Clingan did the nasty on the files. Bad bad programmer :) The branding is just the ability to run Linux, *BSD (and possibly Windows) in a zone. I would think this could be a layer over any zone, branded or not.

This can be used, for example, to provide a quick migration mechanism for a zone that is on SAN-based storage. For what other reasons have you seen the XML files being updated manually? We definitely want to discourage this. dsc
