[advocacy-discuss] OpenSolaris for Java developers?

[Peter Karlsson]

ZFS and SMF for testing. I used that for the J1HOL set up. Each lab  
had their own zfs filesystem that the lab user had rights to  
administrate.

For the labs that required a DB I created a MySQL DB on it's own zfs  
filesystem with admin rights (zfs allow) for the lab user. I also  
created a SMF service per DB, and integrated that with the rights  
subsystem so the lab user had the rights to start and stop the DB.  
Then I pre-populated each DB with a "golde" data set, and took a  
snapshoot of the zfs filesystem, so that the developer could role back  
to a know state as they need :)

Cheers,
Peter
