This depends abit on what your are looking for.
You can use Ldoms combined with jumpstart/JET and flar archive to achive something similar to Vconverter (convert a physical machine into a virtual one).
But as mentioned ealier, with Solaris 10, you also got the possebility of using zones as a way to seperate your applications.
If you can tell something more about that functions you are after, then it would be easier to tell you whats options you got on a Sparc/Solaris platform.
