Add zone memory resource constraint via rcapd rcapadm -E
projmod -K 'rcap.max-rss=60000000' system
Add support for the new package minimization feature to make minimization much quicker. Excludes list of packages during
zone creation instead of removing them after the zone is
created. This feature is RFE (CR4963323).

Add support for zone backup/restore feature.
Integration into N1 SPS. N1 SPS allows administrators to provision applications. N1 could provide a GUI-based front-end to Zonemgr to
allow provisioning of JES applications within Zone Containers. This
(combined with something like Anthony's EMRA toolkit) could be used
to provide automated installations into multiple zones.
The Sun Cluster Product group has released an Agent for Solaris Containers (Zones). My thought was this significantly simplifies HA installations of JES. Rather than requiring the installation and configuration of each application's HA agent, you would simply configure an agent for the Container which has the JES application installed. On failover, the entire Zone would be failed over to the standby server. The JES applications would treat the failover condition as a reboot. This would serve the primary purpose of HA which is to protect applications from hardware faults.
All interfaces that may be used by zones are given an IPMP group name that matches the network number during the jumpstart installation. My script does not allow you to specify a physical interface, rather it looks at the address to be used and picks an interface for you based upon the IPMP group name. That is ( ip & netmask = ipmp_group ). If multiple interfaces exist in the IPMP group, it balances zones between interfaces.
I don't check to see if the IP is up because I may be pre-staging a zone for a "migration". I have instead re-written the zone boot script (/lib/svc/method/…) to only bring a zone up if it is not pingable. This script does some other magic too, such as setting up resource pools, default routes, etc.
Determine the feasibility of creating many zones in parallel.
Add GUI front end.
Addd support for modifying and deleting legacy mode filesystems.
Add support ZFS attribute (quota, compression, …) modification.
Add action to delete all zones but those specified to keep.
Add support for the set ip exclusive option in recent opensolaris builds would be great. (This will get added until the feature gets incorporated into a Solaris 10 update)
