I see it but I guess the demand is tiny given the fact Solaris 10 will support these Solaris 8 and 9 branded zones till 2021. In any case, if you are running on modern SPARC machine, you might have on the same box, a Solaris 11.2 ldom with kernel and Solaris 10 zones, and a Solaris 10 ldom with Solaris 9 and 8 branded zones.

And personally, I still think it might be harder to get all of the "u" variations.
There are no more u variations like it used to be with Solaris 10 and older. The way the OS is updated is very different. With Solaris 10, it was possible to patch packages independently and stay in a given update. With Solaris 11, there are no more patches but consistent SRU that contain full packages that replace the olders. It is much more linear and you can update to the latest minor version (eg: Solaris 11.1 -> Solaris 11.2) while with Solaris 10, an upgrade was required.

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,
