  1. Assuming that you are going with sparse zones, /usr in non-global zone is read only. In order to have writable /usr/local/bin, explicitly add read-writable lofs mount from global zone. Same with chroot stuff like /usr/share/empty of vsftpd.
  2. you cannot run nfs server in non-global zones.
  3. you cannot install veritas volume manager in non-global zones. Hence, you cannot manage veritas volumes in non-global zones; you gotta do it in the global zone. If you are going with zfs pools, thats cool.
  4. You cannot nfs mount directories across zones (global and non-global) sitting on the same physical machine. There is a work around using lofs mount.
  5. /tmp is shared across all non-global zones, and this borrows from /swap. So, you cannot add disks for /tmp. There is a work around--by exporting some disks, modifying vfstab in non-global zones.
