Raw devices on Solaris zones

Does anyone have any experience using raw devices on Solaris zones. We have been using raw devices on regular Solaris servers (without Zones) for 15 years with great performance. However, using it on Zones would be new and our Sys Admin has some reservations. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Verghese Jacob

I was doing that at Bloomberg for many years. No problems. We were using Veritas VM to define the raw devices over EMC SANs. Art Art S.
