Take a look
here for a description of the differences between LDOMs and containers.
We think that we have good reasons to use LDOMs. There are some logical breaks in functionality in our application - online processes, user front end support, overnight batch etc that lend themselves to spliiting onto separate machines and these could be LDOMs or zones. We also have third party software that's licensed on a per core basis, so by running this in an LDOM, we could reduce our licence costs from 8 to 1. As zones share an OS and LDOMs each have their own, there are patching considerations. Also, using LDOMs allows us to share a production and development environment on the same hardware. The question really is, are there positive reasons NOT to use LDOMs?

We used kstat on netra240/440 to check if the link is full duplex. So we do something like:
bash-3.00# kstat -pc net bge:1::/'link_duplex'/ | cut -f2

The output 2 indicates the link is full duplex. This kind of check worked all right for Netra 240/440 systems.

PREFIX(1) General Commands Manual PREFIX(1)
NAME
prefix - Script that allows you to reconfigure environment variables for multiple installations of a set of software installed on the same
machine
SYNOPSIS
prefix
DESCRIPTION
It is assumed that the software for each installation is all under a single directory whose name is assigned to an environment variable
called PREFIX.
This arrangement of enabling multiple installations of software on a single machine is useful at many times. On a single server, it can
provide for development, test, and production installations of software. Alternatively, on development servers, it allows for multiple
development "sandboxes", one for each developer. On production servers, it allows for multiple versions of the production software to be
installed. One might be the currently running software, one the previous software kept online as a fall-back, and one a new release of
software wich is scheduled to be brought online soon.
There are three usages of the prefix script:
(1) The interactive usage should be placed as the last line
of a user's ".profile". The user must be running the
Korn shell (ksh) or the Bourne Again shell (bash).
The user is prompted to enter one of the known PREFIX locations,
specified in the $HOME/.prefixes file or the /etc/prefixes file.
During configuration, the $PREFIX/.prefixrc file is sourced
in order to accomplish environment-specific configurations.
(2) The non-interactive user configuration does not consult
$HOME/.prefixes or /etc/prefixes or prompt the user, but merely
configures the environment in accordance with the cmd line argument.
(3) The batch command usage is mainly for running commands from
cron or running commands in another environment without changing
to that environment.
Usage (1): . prefix (sets up environment)
(2): . prefix <prefix> (non-interactive setup)
(3): prefix <prefix> <cmd> <args> (runs cmd configured for PREFIX)
