No problem, it is an interesting subject.
I've just had a chat with our vmware guy here and he suggested that you may get away with creating templates and deploying from those. We've never tried it on the Solaris side obviously but apparently it works well for Windows.
Not exactly what you're looking for I know.

Good luck though.
