[OmniOS-discuss] LX zones and a small Howto

[Guenther Alka]

I have added a menu in napp-it to select, download and preconfigure LX images from Joyent
beside the menu to configure/ attach/ start/ stop/ detach/ delete

http://www.napp-it.org/doc/downloads/zones.pdf

Whats not yet clear to me is the way to configure lx zones with 
zoneadm/zonecfg according to the settings in the Joyent XML file like 
network ip/dhcp, router, netmask, gateway, maxram, ssh, mount zfs 
filesystems to name a few.

btw
what about kvm branded zones from Joyent?
the concept is very new to me....
