Creating and Using Oracle^® Solaris Zones

How to Obtain Network Bandwidth Utilization for Exclusive-IP Zones

The zonestat command used with the –r option and network resource type shows the per-zone utilization of each network device.

Use this procedure to view how much datalink bandwidth in the form of VNICs is used by each zone. For example, zoneB displayed under net0 indicates that this zone consumes resources of net0 in the form of VNICs. The specific VNICs can be displayed by also adding the –x option.

1. Assume the root role.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Use the network resource type to the zonestat command with the –r option to display the utilization one time.

   # zonestat -r network 1 1
