Logical system partitions and Solaris 10

Hello,

I haven't played with logical system partitions under Solaris since my
E10K days and I would like to, if possible, work with them again for my
own personal training purposes, at some point in the near future on
lesser equipment.

I did do some searching on Sun's web site before posting this and after
looking through several hundred links, I came up with nothing. I also
did a yahoo search and came across a few high level links (see below)
which also discuss an intermediate technology coming up called "Solaris
Zones".

My specific question is, my understanding is that logical system
partitioning will be enhanced in Solaris 10 and it will be available on
possibly mid range equipment? If my understanding is correct, would I
be able to use something like an E3500 with 4 processors for my own
personal training? And while I do understand that Solaris 10 is still
in beta, is there a system list of equipment that logical system
partitions will work under?

Also, if you have signed an NDA with Sun, I am not asking anyone to
violate their NDA.

Thanks, and I will summarize,

Jerry K
