Re: [zones-discuss] 3 questions about zones and containers

[Michael Barto]

This question was asked: 2. if a zone pool shares out resources dynamically how do I correlate that with my performance data? For example if a CPU were to be 'imported' by one zone from another, how do I know by looking at the performance data? It was suggestion to use poolstat. which supports an interval and a count. Could an example output be provided showing how this is interpreted? Just a comment on some other ideas that might be useful. For validating variable processes, log into the zone and verify that the number of processor are indeed enabled by using the "psrinfo -vp", workzone1# psrinfo -vp The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)   x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 5 step 1 clock 2193 MHz)         AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (1)   x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 5 step 1 clock 2193 MHz)         AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (2)   x86 (AuthenticAMD family 15 model 5 step 1 clock 2193 MHz)         AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 248 workzone1# Also prstat -Z -n 9,11 -R will produce a display that will dynamicall change as processing is executed.
