High availability between routers, load balancers, etc ? One of the servers is active (primary), the other(s) are passive ? Solaris VRRP framework exchanges control messages to detect failures of one of the routers ? Once a failure of the primary server is detected, VRRP elects a new primary server, and moves the VIP (Virtual IP address) to newly selected primary server. ? Each “server” (VRRP router) creates a VNIC associated with the same VRRP id ? VRRP id and IP address family (e.g. IPv4 or IPv6) are specified as an attribute of a VNIC through dladm(1M) * * * * * * * * More control on Exclusive – IP Zones * More control and features from the Zone Exclusive – IP * * * - Just want to highlight Oracle Apps support on Solaris 10 also support in Solaris 10 Containers Oracle states that Oracle applications run on Solaris 10, it will work on Solaris 10 zone and further s10 brand zone in Solaris 11 /oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1145275.1 - Details from Virtualization support for Oracle Solaris [ID 1145275.1] or refer this link /CSP/ui/flash.html#tab=KBHome%28page=KBHomeid=%28%29%29,%28page=KBNavigatorid=%28from=BOOKMARKviewingMode=1143bmDocDsrc=KBbmDocType=FAQbmDocID=1145275.1bmDocTitle=Virtualization%20support%20for%20Oracle%20Solaris%29%29 * * * * * * * Solaris 11 introduces a new network virtualization architecture, which was previously know as Project Crossbow. Network Virtualization is built into Solaris 11 and is a no cost feature, if you have Solaris 11, you have access to network virtualization. It’s dedicated: a Virtual NIC (VNIC) provides the same functionality as a physical NIC, including a complete network stack and standards based end to end network virtualization i.e. to an application it will look and behave the s
