System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones

ProcedureHow to Modify a Configuration

To enhance your configuration, create a processor set named pset_batch and a pool named pool_batch. Then join the pool and the processor set with an association.

Note that you must quote subcommand arguments that contain white space.

  1. Become superuser, or assume a role that includes the Process Management profile.

    The System Administrator role includes the Process Management profile. For more information about roles, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

  2. Create processor set pset_batch.


    # poolcfg -c 'create pset pset_batch (uint pset.min = 2; uint pset.max = 10)'
    
  3. Create pool pool_batch.


    # poolcfg -c 'create pool pool_batch'
    
  4. Join the pool and the processor set with an association.


    # poolcfg -c 'associate pool pool_batch (pset pset_batch)'
    
  5. Display the edited configuration.


    # poolcfg -c info

  6. Commit the configuration at /etc/pooladm.conf.


    # pooladm -c
    
  7. (Optional) To copy the dynamic configuration to a static configuration file named /tmp/backup, type the following:


    # pooladm -s /tmp/backup
