PSARC 2008/625 - Streamline ARC 20Q

[Edward Pilatowicz]

hey all,
so i realize that this case is an attempt to streamline the 20
questions, but i'm concerned about problems we've seen where
projects don't properly address integration with zones.

proposed question 8 asks about virtualization, but it doesn't
explicitly mention zones:

also, zones are sufficiently different from other virtualization
technologies that integration with zones often requires considerably
more thought/work than integration with the other virtualization
technologies listed above.

hence, i think it would be benificial to have projects answer the
following questions wrt zones integration:

* is the functionality delivered by this project accessible, by default,
  directly from within non-global zones?

* is any configuration, state, and/or statistics used by this project
  maintained on a per-zone basis?  Do any tools for accessing this
  information allow for per-zone views of this data?

* does any functionality deliverd by this project expose information
  about the global zone (or other non-global zones) to a non-global zone?

of course these extra questions seem more in line with the
original arc 20q, and not the stream lined version below.  so
if it's not appropriate to add questions like the ones above
to the new 20q, where should they go?

thanks
