Zone-wide resource controls are available on a system with zones installed. Zone-wide resource controls limit the total resource usage of all process entities within a zone.
Absolute limit on the amount of CPU resources that can be consumed by a non-global zone. A value of 100 means 100 percent of one CPU as the project.cpu-cap setting. A value of 125 is 125 percent, because 100 percent corresponds to one full CPU on the system when using CPU caps.
Limit on the number of fair share scheduler (FSS) CPU shares for a zone. The scheduling class must be FSS. CPU shares are first allocated to the zone, and then further subdivided among projects within the zone as specified in the project.cpu-shares entries. A zone with a higher number of zone.cpu-shares is allowed to use more CPU than a zone with a low number of shares.
Total amount of physical locked memory available to a zone.
Maximum number of LWPs simultaneously available to this zone
Maximum number of message queue IDs allowed for this zone
Maximum number of semaphore IDs allowed for this zone
Maximum number of shared memory IDs allowed for this zone
Total amount of shared memory allowed for this zone
Total amount of swap that can be consumed by user process address space mappings and tmpfs mounts for this zone.
For information on configuring zone-wide resource controls, see Chapter 17, Non-Global Zone Configuration (Overview), in System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones and Chapter 18, Planning and Configuring Non-Global Zones (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones. Note that it is possible to use the zonecfg command to apply a zone-wide resource control to the global zone on a system with non-global zones installed.
