Application Support

The solaris8 zone only supports user-level Solaris 8 applications. You cannot use Solaris 8 device drivers, Solaris 8 kernel modules, or Solaris 10 only file systems, such as zfs(1M) delegated datasets,, from inside a solaris8 zone. However, you can add fs resources in zonecfg with type=zfs.

Native Solaris debugging tools such as DTrace (see dtrace(1M)) can be applied to Solaris 8 processes executing inside the zone, but the tools themselves must be running in the global zone.
