Introduction

The Solaris Resource Manager functionality provides the ability to allocate and control virtual memory, CPU, and other major system resources, ensuring their availability for users, groups, and applications. It implements administrative policies according to a plan that governs the resources each user can access and the level of consumption of those resources each user is permitted. This product makes it possible to consolidate servers and fully utilize system resources.

Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 introduces a new feature, the resource cap enforcement daemon. You must be running the Solaris 8 operating environment to use this new feature. For additional information, see "Physical Memory Management Using the Resource Capping Daemon" in Solaris Resource Manager 1.3 System Administration Guide.
