How many subhosts can the Solaris Virtual Servers support?
The same subhosting recommendations for the FreeBSD Virtual Servers apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers.

Solaris Standard: 25 subhosts
Solaris Pro: 60 subhosts

Of course the same guidelines and limitations of subhosting also apply to the Solaris Virtual Servers. The Server Administrator is responsible for managing the load created by multiple subhosts.

Although the Solaris Virtual Server will support subhosts, the intent of this product is to support a single user with more complex web site requirements. If you intend to use your server primarily for subhosts and don't need the advanced features that Solaris provides, we recommend you check out our FreeBSD Virtual Server as well, which is well-suited for multiple subhosts.

What system resources are allocated to each Solaris Virtual Server?

Solaris Standard
Disk Space: 400 MB
Processes: 64 processes (25 httpd processes)

Solaris Pro
Disk Space: 800 MB
Processes: 96 processes (40 httpd processes)
