A very first quick feedback:

I used a LDOM on a T5220 with 10G RAM and 8 threads, a 100G vdisk
and a vnet.

Installation went fine, booted right away on the first attempt.
It has issues with with mpt_sas on the CD-ROM:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Boot device: disk  File and args: 
SunOS Release 5.11 Version illumos-07ba7ce06c 64-bit
Copyright (c) 1983, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
/kernel/drv/sparcv9/mpt_sas: undefined symbol 'sata_split_model'
WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'mpt_sas'
WARNING: mpt_sas: unable to resolve dependency, module 'misc/sata' not found
Hostname: openindiana
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And when selecting "whole disk" the install fails being unable to
create the zpool (probably some naming issues with vdisks), but
worked fine on a slice install.

Now it is installed and I'll install the repo software tomorrow
and give zones a spin. So far this looks amazing and I have to
congratulate you for this awesome result!

Regards,
