[zones-discuss] limiting a percentage of CPU resource on a zone

2007-04-25 Thread DJR
Hi, What would be the best way/easiest way to limit an amount of a 8core CPU to a specific zone. Can I do it in such a way to limit 2 of 8 cores, or does it have to be in a percentage bases. Im assuming it would be done with zonecfg, any help is appreciated. thanks much This message

If you install a pkg on a global zone, such as 'top'. If I used: pkgadd -G -d top, my question is, will the local zones be able to utilize the top command that was specifically installed on the global zone. I have a sparse zone, and have it so the local zones are able to write to /usr/local.

unfortunately since I am not using opensolaris on this box, and am running S10 11/06. if I use FSS, I have to use this method. (well as far I know I do) my question is, using this method, is there a way using zonecfg to modify the 'limit'. I know there is a method using prtcl, but it only last
