[OmniOS-discuss] LX zones and a small Howto

[Günther Alka]

Gratulation!

I have also tried the CentOS example and it works for me.
I have created a small howto setup LX and the VM, see 
http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/zones.pdf

I have not used SmartOS in the past so the concept was at first not 
clear to me.
What I must say is, that this seems to be a real killer innovation for 
OmniOS as you can run OmniOS as a very solid ZFS filer with additional 
Linux services running directly especially with preconfigured services 
as a container where you only need a copy and import/run after some 
small editings of a config file like shares or nics.

What I will add to the current concept in napp-it is deploying 
containers together with the config file (zone.cfg) like it is done on 
ESXi where you can simply provide a folder with the VM that you can 
simply import and run. An option is that one deploy LX images as a 
folder imagefile with the zone config file within and the container with 
the OS as a subfolder.
