Installing and Administering Solaris Container Manager 3.6.1

Timesharing Scheduler

Container Manager 1.0 supported the fair share scheduler (FSS) only. Container Manager 3.6 allows you to select the scheduler class, fair share or timesharing, when you create or modify a resource pool. The scheduler class determines the process priority, deciding which process runs next.

After you change a resource pool's scheduler class, any new processes for that resource pool changes to the resource pool's scheduler class. Container Manager does not change the scheduler class of a running process.
