Installation of BEA weblogic 8.1 SP6 on solaris zones

Hi Everybody,

We have the following environment:

Hardware: Sun Fire V 440
OS: solaris 10

6 whole root zones

We want to install in every zone a seperate weblogic server. In the bea
documentation does not help :

Configuring Your WebLogic Platform Installation for Multi-Zone Operation

WebLogic Platform can be run in multiple zones of a Solaris 10 system, as
long as the product is installed and configured to accommodate the Solaris
Zones feature. To prepare your WebLogic Platform installation to
accommodate Solaris Zones, complete the following procedure:
   1. During the installation of WebLogic Platform, specify a directory to
      which all zones will have access.

      Note: BEA strongly recommends this step so you can avoid installing
      WebLogic Platform in the default root file system. If WebLogic
      Platform is installed in the default root, all zones will require
      write access to root and such widespread write access is not
      recommended.
   2. Define a separate WebLogic Platform or WebLogic Server domain for
      each zone so that the log files for each zone can go to a different
      location. If you choose, you can also configure a cluster to work
      across multiple zones as long as you provide read, write, and execute
      permissions to the domain directory to all the local zones
      participating in the cluster. For more information, see "Overview of
      WebLogic Server Domains" in Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server:

      http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/overview_domain.html

Does someone have any experience with that ? I guess the advices above will
probably fit an environment with spars root zones. As far as I understand
the solaris zones principles, every whole root zone is independent from
other zones regarding to installed software.

Thanks for any help!
