<div style="">In SmartOS I use their vmadm tool, and on OmniOS I
just started it up by hand and haven't shut it down since.
There is a project that came up on this list to replicate
vmadm on OmniOS, but the name escapes me right now.</div>

<div style="">Regarding high performance, I do some testing of
Riak (our distributed data store) on SmartOS->KVM->Linux
and as long as I use the virtio driver I get pretty decent
performance. For reference, FreeBSD and Centos5 need a little
bit of work to get virtio to work, but it isn't that hard. </div>

That sounds encouraging. Can you ballpark the performance numbers
you are seeing ? <br>
