If I have a machine with a large number of cores (say 24), and dedicate
4 of the CPUs to the zone, psrinfo shows the number of CPU's dedicated
to that zone as 4, however, the global zone still shows 24.  Does this
mean that if there's enough stuff running in global that it can preempt
the stuff running inside the zone?  The concern here is that the stuff
we want to run in the zone is a bit more critical than in global, so we
wouldn't want global to eat up CPU resources of the zone.  (I suppose we
could repurpose the stuff running inside global and the zone, but then
we'd get the reverse isolation issue.)


The other questions is that there's an old E450 running Solaris 8 and
it's got a bunch of stuff installed on it.  Would it be possible to
somehow convert all the software and data of that E450 into a container
or zone and run that on a more modern machine - say a T5420 which runs
Solaris 10 (without upgrading the stuff running under the E450 to
Solaris 10?)
