PSARC/2010/250 EOF of Solaris xVM dom0 from End of June 2010 We''ve been through this a couple times: If you want "live-migration" you need NO LOCAL disks, therefore the ZFS advantages are in the net-based storage box DTrace doesn''t add any advantage, as the xVM dtrace integration is ASYNCHRONOUS, and doesn''t guarantee the arrival of all messages from the Xen-part Which leaves COMSTAR, yes, that''s sad. But: OVM does already provide tons of templates (preconfigured images with whole app stacks), and, as mentioned, a way better GUI... So, from a business point of view, for DCs, that''s the right decision... Which also implies, that inside Sun/Oracle no one any longer takes care of the updating of the Xen dom0 port/part.
