Q. Does zoning under Solaris differ a lot when compared to micropartition in aix5.3 on IBM p5 series servers?

Posted by : Dr. Root | 05 January, 2006 | Published in

Yes. In the case of micropartitions there is a type of Virtual Machine technology with a hypervisor, and every environment has its own OS with all the associated freedoms and overheads.

Solaris Containers (with Zones) are a type of OS Virtualization, where there is only one OS with multiple environments within the one OS.

Both of them can be used for consolidation but have different advantages.
