No, at least currently as the prerequisite for a kernel zone is to be running Solaris 11.2 and the prerequisite for a host to support kernel zones is also Solaris 11.2.

But tomorrow if sol11u3 releases, can i create kernel zone with both sol11u2 and sol11u3 provided i have sol11u3 in global zone.
More than likely. One feature of kernel zones is the ability to be patched independantly so I see no reason why you won't be able to get a Solaris 11.2 kernel zone running on top of a Solaris 11.3 host, and reciprocally, a Solaris 11.3 kernel zone running on a Solaris 11.2.

Supporting branded zones didn't stop, Solaris 11 supports Solaris 10 branded zones. This support is still true for a kernel zone which can host Solaris 10 branded zones.

max number of slabs per kernel module (kernel 2.6.17, suse)

Hi All, Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff. Cheers, Brendan (4 Replies)

NAME
zoneadmd - zone administration daemon SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/zones/zoneadmd zoneadmd is a system daemon that is started when the system needs to manage a particular zone. Because each instance of the zoneadmd daemon manages a particular zone, it is not unexpected to see multiple zoneadmd daemons running. This daemon is started automatically by the zone management software and should not be invoked directly. The daemon shuts down automati- cally when no longer in use. It does not constitute a programming interface, but is classified as a private interface. See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWzoneu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Private | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ svcs(1), zlogin(1), svcadm(1M), zoneadm(1M), attributes(5), smf(5), zones(5) The zones(5) service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/system/zones:default Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser- vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. 1 Nov 2004 zoneadmd(1M)
