The customer currently runs WebSphere Portal on two Sun T1000 servers with Solaris 10 zones and wants to know if they can add an additional portal node to the existing cluster by creating a new Solaris 10 zone on the same hardware. Solaris 10 zones provide operating system-level virtualization that allows creating isolated virtual servers on a single machine to reduce costs. Reviewing the hardware capacity and expected workloads would be needed to determine if adding another zone is feasible without performance issues.
