How to Modify a Configuration

To enhance your configuration, create a processor set named pset_batch and a pool named pool_batch. Then join the pool and the processor set with an association.

Note that you must quote subcommand arguments that contain white space.

1. Become superuser, or assume a role that includes the Process Management profile.

   The System Administrator role includes the Process Management profile. For more information about roles, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. Create processor set pset_batch.

   # poolcfg -c 'create pset pset_batch (uint pset.min = 2; uint pset.max = 10)'

3. Create pool pool_batch.

   # poolcfg -c 'create pool pool_batch'

4. Join the pool and the processor set with an association.

   # poolcfg -c 'associate pool pool_batch (pset pset_batch)'

5. Display the edited configuration.

   # poolcfg -c info system tester string system.comment kernel state int system.version 1 boolean system.bind-default true int system.poold.pid 177916 pool pool_default int pool.sys_id 0 boolean pool.active true boolean pool.default true int pool.importance 1 string pool.comment pset pset_default pset pset_default int pset.sys_id -1 boolean pset.default true uint pset.min 1 uint pset.max 65536 string pset.units population uint pset.load 10 uint pset.size 4 string pset.comment boolean testnullchanged true cpu int cpu.sys_id 3 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line cpu int cpu.sys_id 2 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line cpu int cpu.sys_id 1 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line cpu int cpu.sys_id 0 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line pool pool_batch boolean pool.default false boolean pool.active true int pool.importance 1 string pool.comment pset pset_batch pset pset_batch int pset.sys_id -2 string pset.units population boolean pset.default true uint pset.max 10 uint pset.min 2 string pset.comment boolean pset.escapable false uint pset.load 0 uint pset.size 0 cpu int cpu.sys_id 5 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line cpu int cpu.sys_id 4 string cpu.comment string cpu.status on-line

6. Commit the configuration at /etc/pooladm.conf.

   # pooladm -c

7. (Optional) To copy the dynamic configuration to a static configuration file named /tmp/backup, type the following:

   # pooladm -s /tmp/backup
