Each kernel zone running on a host can be at a different kernel level and be updated individually.Implementing Solaris Zones with Cluster File System HA 6.0
Provided within this document are the steps necessary to create a highly available Solaris zone environment using Cluster File System HA 6.0. Additional content includes advanced provisioning techniques using Storage Foundation Space Optimized Snapshots, instant roll back procedures using File System Checkpoints as well as patching techniques designed to help elevate some of the operation
