Yes, it is... So, where's the problem? (I know, where the problem is, but...)

PSARC/2010/250 EOF of Solaris xVM dom0 from End of June 2010

We've been through this a couple times:

If you want "live-migration" you need NO LOCAL disks, therefore the ZFS
advantages are in the net-based storage box

DTrace doesn't add any advantage, as the xVM dtrace integration is
ASYNCHRONOUS, and doesn't guarantee the arrival of all messages from the
Xen-part

Which leaves COMSTAR, yes, that's sad.

But: OVM does already provide tons of templates (preconfigured images with
whole app stacks), and, as mentioned, a way better GUI...

So, from a business point of view, for DCs, that's the right decision...

Which also implies, that inside Sun/Oracle no one any longer takes care of the
updating of the Xen dom0 port/part.
