Re: [zones-discuss] Zone Resource Management Issue.
What is the application? How do you know if the application requested more than 2.3GB of locked memory or not? One other thing, the T5540 has the largest memory latency times of all the CMT servers, so you could be seeing some of this. Steve Lawrence wrote: How much memory does the system have? Is it possible the system is paging? Look at vmstat output. -Steve On 12/13/10 10:03 PM, Ketan wrote: Hi Steve, I meant either zone or project .. as i 'm having issue both in zone and project .. the issue is same .. as per kstat the locked memory is around 2.3G and the value assigned (locked-memory ) is much larger but still application users are complaining they are experiencing a performance issue due to memory .. as they are checking the memory from the RSS column of prstat output for that particular zone/project which is larger than the locked memory as per kstat See below output for the project module: capsinstance: 0 name: lockedmem_project_2009 class:project_caps crtime 1201534.6985509 snaptime5612713.3006914 usage 2147488563 value 12335423324 zonenameglobal 1018253 9125M5913M 2.3% 46:44:54 1.5% project2 3 384 23G 15G5.8% 23:11:58 0.5%default 1020317 24G 22G8.8% 29:09:16 0.3%project1 0 59304M 259M 0.1% 101:14:15 0.1% system 1013175 7737M 5615M 2.1% 16:44:21 0.0% project3[b][/b][b][/b] ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org -- ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] vncserver in a zone?
I fired up the S10 version of this while running a dtrace script that monitors device and privlege access for Xvnc (vncserver is a perl script that fires up Xvnc) There was an open for this device ... /devices/pseudo/dtr...@0:helper This happens because there are USDT probes in the Xvnc code. This was fixed by adding /dev/dtrace and having the initlization code for the USDT providers to use the /dev link. It looks like the Xvnc server that ships with Solaris was never recompiled on a latter version of Solaris that implemented the /dev links. What it means is the USDT probes in Xvnc don't initialize so you can't use them in a dtrace script, but Xvnc still works. There is no devices directory in NGZ, so this open would fail. Now according to the Brian Kolaci wrote: Yes, I do that all the time. On Jul 7, 2010, at 4:01 PM, Günther Schmidt wrote: Hi all, is it possible to run a vncserver in a non-global zone?

Re: [zones-discuss] Cannot export EMCpower device to local zone
Ashit, If this is Solaris 10 8/07, you may be running into bug: 6608977 - Can't add device to non-global zone in S10 update 4 (Solaris 10 8/07) You can tell what version of Solaris you are running from the contents of /etc/release. The patches for this bug are: 125914-01 (x86/x64) 127111-03 (SPARC) or upgrade to Solaris 10 5/08+ Ashit wrote: @Joe: Are there entries in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk for the powerdevices in the global and non-global zones? Does format in the global zone display them? Also check the output of zonecfg -z yourzone info to make sure you really added the devices Does the EMC inq command tell you they are there? [ASHIT] Yes there are entries for these power devices in the Globla in /dev/[r]dsk But there are no entries in the /dev/[r]dsk in the non-global zone. Format command in the global zone displays that but format command in non-global zone doesn't display that. I checked the 'zonecfg -z zone inof' command and the entries are there. @Tommy: [ASHIT] So you say that exporting raw devices to non-global zone may not be good practice? Also, did you mean that once a zone is configured, it's not possible to export devices to non-global zone? I tried to add device handles and even zfs volume as device to an existent non-global zone and it works. I am still struggling to get the things done. My aim is to use emc power device in non-global zone to create filesystems.. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] Cannot export EMCpower device to local zone
Well according to this: http://www.emc.com/collateral/support-training/support/300-003-593-powerpath-for-solaris-rn.pdf You did everything correctly. Are there entries in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk for the powerdevices in the global and non-global zones? Does format in the global zone display them? Also check the output of zonecfg -z yourzone info to make sure you really added the devices Does the EMC inq command tell you they are there?
