I'm not sure what your second sentence means. As for the first, how about:
reasonable minimum: The amount of resource neccessary to boot a zone that
is has a default installation and configuration.
My "minimum", I do not mean the system default value. For example, for
the following rctl, 128 is the system default value:
# prctl -n project.max-shm-ids $$
process: 425781: -sh
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
zone.max-swap will not have a system default value. By default, every zone
will have access to all swap available on the system.
By minimum, I mean the minimum that zonecfg will allow you to set.
zonecfg> add capped memory
zonecfg:capped memory> set zone.max-swap=1K
Error, minimum value for zone.max-swap is ###
