You can use "prstat -cZ 1 1" to get the resident memory in use by each zone. This command counts shared pages correctly. It uses a private interface.

The issue will be with shared anon mappings with shmid == -1. These mappings will have pr_mapname of "", and a pr_dev equal to PRNODEV, so there is no way to track which one is which. Enhancing pr_xmap to give a unique pr_mapname[] to such mappings would help resolve this. -Steve > > in this way I'll say that in Zone_1 there are 10 MB used and in Zone_2 there > are 60 MB used.... but in which zone I should sum the shared MBs? > Is there a way to use some API in order to collect the memory usage of each > zone from the global zone in order to avoid this kind of problem? > > > Thanks in advance > -- > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > zones-discuss mailing list > zones-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
