IIRC there is no OOM killer in illumos,
There is a indepth chapter in Solaris Internals that went a bit over my
head, but this page is a nice quick reference.
But if I remember correctly no new process will be able to be created if
there is no available memory.
There was also something about locked memory that escapes me at the
moment.

Hi,

BTW, for a machine with 256G memory, is there necessary to create a
swap zone? If so, how big should it be?
For some time now, my opinion has been to not use any swap at all for
any of my systems. Maybe I'm extreme, but when my systems fail, I want
them to fail categorically so that I know that something is wrong (I'm
assuming that there's something similar to the OOM killer on Linux)
instead of "not fail but grind along slowly". Am I wrong to think this
way?
