For additional information not in this guide, also refer to the System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones. That book provides a complete overview of Solaris Zones and branded zones.
You should be familiar with the following zones and resource management concepts, which are discussed in the guide:
Supported and unsupported features
Resource controls that enable the administrator to control how applications use available system resources
Commands used to configure, install, and administer zones, primarily zonecfg, zoneadm, and zlogin
The global zone and the non-global zone
The whole-root non-global zone model
The global administrator and the zone administrator
The zone state model
The zone isolation characteristics
Privileges
Networking
Zone IP types, exclusive-IP and shared-IP
The Solaris Container concept, which is the use of resource management features, such as resource pools, with zones
The fair share scheduler (FSS), a scheduling class that enables you to allocate CPU time based on shares
The resource capping daemon (rcapd), which can be used from the global zone to control resident set size (RSS) usage of branded zones
