The only reason to set the scheduling-class=FSS on the zone is if you want to use FSS inside the zone but the system is not using FSS as the default scheduling class. Setting scheduling-class=FSS will not help you with the scenario of using cpu-shares for the zones themselves. What you want to do in the example above is to set the system's default scheduling class to be FSS using dispadmin. > 2) and does this mean that global zone is using 5/10, zone 1 is using 3/10 > and > zone2 is using 2/10 of the cpu resources like when I set up the old way a > pool. That would be true if all of the zones were running and fully busy. If one of the zones isn't really doing anything, then it won't factor into the equation. Likewise, none of this applies unless the system itself is overcommitted. > 3) and is this an easier way to do it or do I still need to use pools? I'm not sure what this is in reference to.
