Using poolstat to Monitor the Pools Facility and Resource Utilization

The poolstat utility is used to monitor resource utilization when pools are enabled on your system. This utility iteratively examines all of the active pools on a system and reports statistics based on the selected output mode. The poolstat statistics enable you to determine which resource partitions are heavily utilized. You can analyze these statistics to make decisions about resource reallocation when the system is under pressure for resources.

The poolstat utility includes options that can be used to examine specific pools and report resource set-specific statistics.

If zones are implemented on your system and you use poolstat in a non-global zone, information about the resources associated with the zone's pool is displayed.

For more information about the poolstat utility, see the poolstat (1M) man page. For poolstat task and usage information, see Using poolstat to Report Statistics for Pool-Related Resources.
