Hi Jeff, I tried the steps you have suggested. Looks like I am still doing some thing wrong. Local zone is still unable to get its max assigned cpu when the load hits 100 %.. Here is the output. Thanks. bash-3.00# poolstat -r all id pool type rid rset min

Ramesh, I think that Solaris is not shifting CPUs because the 'used' value is not large enough to cause a CPU to shift. With the configuration shown below, a CPU should be shifted automatically when the 'used' value for rwc-uc-sparc1-z1 exceeds 8.8 (0.8 * 11). Would you run your test

Hi Jeff, I have MAX_CPUs set to 100. From your email what I understand is, FSS will work only when multiple zones using the same pool ? What I was trying to do is, create a unique pool for each zone and set min and max pset values and expect for max CPU allocation when load is too high on a

There doesn't appear to be an objective set for poold. At a minimum you should read the libpool manpage (man libpool(3LIB)) and understand the section on setting system.poold.objectives. I would suggest that for this scenario you should apply the wt-load objective. Gary On Thu, May 17, 2007 at
