9.5 days

This is odd, or at least it might be.  When Solaris 11.0 came out, I quickly discovered that my system would run for only ~9.5 days before the network stopped working.  This was reliable, although not to the minute.  The system load would also slowly rise & VMs would take more & more resources untill I reboot.  Then it would act normally for a few days before the cycle would begin (sluggish, increasing load, death to the network).  Even if VirtualBox wasn't installed, the problem would manifest.  So I don't think VB was the source of the problem.
Then I discovered SRUs (didn't yet know that's how patches were distributed), finding out about them around SRU 3.4.  I applied the SRU, and problem solved!  I don't know what patch(es) fixed the issue, but it was solved and everything ran smoothly without issue for months.

Howdy, Stranger!
