Hi Jared.

I have been using vbox on OpenIndiana and it has been working pretty well.

What are you using to auto manage the startup/shutdown of KVM 
instances.  I use
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vboxsvc/ with vbox.

Out of curiosity, are you using any Linux VMs in KVM that has high disk 
IO/network throughput?  All my vbox instances are low usage, but I have 
been thinking about virtualizing a GlusterFS, because there is no good 
DFS option on illumos today.
