Hosts View

The Hosts view organizes information from the host perspective. All agent machines that you are managing appear in the navigation window. The resource pools that are available for each host are shown when you click the expansion triangle beside the host name. You can also manage the containers that are associated with the host from this view.

All agent hosts that have the software installed are automatically discovered and added to the Hosts view. This view is accessed from the left tab in the navigation window. All agent hosts that are discovered are initially placed under a default group titled Hosts. You can further organize this view by creating new groups and moving the hosts to relevant groups.

Only those agent machines that are part of the Sun Management Center server context and that have Solaris Container Manager 3.6 installed are loaded into the Hosts view. For more information about server context, see Sun Management Center Architecture in Sun Management Center 3.6.1 User’s Guide.

The tabs and information that are available in the Hosts view are listed in Table 3–1.

Information about every project instance that is associated with a host is listed in the Project table.

The following figure shows the Hosts view with the project table that is associated with the default pool.

The Project table provides information about each project, detailing one project per row. The Project table provides the following data:

Project Name

Name of the project

Container Name

Name of the container

Status

State of the project: active and inactive

Resource Pool Name

Resource pool to which the project is bound

Zone Name

Name of the zone where the project resides. For Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 hosts, the zone name is always global.

CPU Reservation (CPU shares)

Minimum CPU shares set for the project

CPU Usage (CPUs)

Amount of CPU the project is using

Memory Cap (MB)

Maximum memory limit in megabytes

Memory Usage (MB)

Memory used by the project in megabytes

Shared Memory (MB)

Project CPU Shares

Number of CPU shares that is allocated to the projects in the zone

Unreserved CPU Shares

Number of CPU shares available for allocation to projects associated with this zone

Reserved CPU Shares
