  Hey, out of curiousity is there anyway to create a VM with a different architecture? Such as a VM emulating arm?

  charadon: I'm not aware of a way to do it directly via vmadm - but you can run qemu inside a zone

  I figured that's what i'd probably have to do =P

  Only issue with using qemu directly, is that I have never actually figured out how to send a shutdown signal to the VM. Everything just kills qemu and causes an abrupt shutdown

  charadon: I think if you are manually running qemu you can tell it to create the monitor socket that you can connect to.

  That's the telnet thing right?

  I think it's some unix domain socket.

  God, I wish the documentation for qemu was better lol

  Their documentation is basically just stack overflow answers =P

  It's been a long time since I've used it, but I have some vague recollection here.

  Hopefully that's something at least.

  Yeah, I found the command-line switch to create the socket, thanks for pointing me in the right direction
