I have this little lab.. Pulled down 10g the other day to see what issues might
crop up as a client of mine has nice shiny new M4000 to configure. (even before reading the above) I was leaning towards NOT using a special zone just for Oracle, but I might still look at it. A special project ID almost certainly.
On Solaris 10 /etc/system hacks are practically deprecated BTW. Last time I looked even the Oracle install docs were aware of that amazingly : > Received on Sat Jul 14 2007 - 15:33:12 CDT
