[OpenIndiana-discuss] Bhyve on Hipster 2024.10

[Till Wegmueller]

Hey Reg,

I am still not on my computer so this is a quick one for now. bHyve and Zones brand S10 can both run ontop of any pool. bhyve uses zfs volumes and zones use datasets. Both reference the vfs path. Omnios and oi are well enough in sync that the tutorial works here too. I dont know if solaris 10 ever had uefi support but that will be needed for a full vm. 9pfs also just references the vfs directory which can reside on any zpool you want even the raidz1 one. More details tomorrow when I have a Keuboard again.
