How to Create a Configuration by Discovery

Use the discover subcommand argument to the -c option of /usr/sbin/poolcfg to create the pools configuration file. The resulting file, /etc/pooladm.conf, contains any existing processor sets.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Type the following:


    # poolcfg -c discover
    

You can also supply a file name to use instead of the default /etc/pooladm.conf. If the file name is supplied, then the poolcfg commands are applied to the contents of the named file.

For example, to place a discovered configuration in /tmp/foo, do the following:

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Type the following:


    # poolcfg -c discover /tmp/foo
