System V Resource Controls for Zones

This system resource enhancement is new in the Solaris Express 10/06 release.

To limit the total amount of System V resources used by processes within a non-global zone, the following zone-wide resource controls are now included:

• zone.max-shm-memory

• zone.max-shm-ids

• zone.max-msg-ids

• zone.max-sem-ids

The resource controls are set through the add rctl resource property in zonecfg command for non-global zones.

To limit the global zone's consumption, the resource controls can be set through the prctl command.

For more information, see:

• prctl(1) man page

• zonecfg(1M) man page

• resource_controls(5)
