Resource Pool Association

If you have configured resource pools on your system as described in Chapter 13, Creating and Administering Resource Pools Tasks, in Administering Resource Management in Oracle Solaris 11.2 , you can use the pool property to associate the zone with one of the resource pools when you configure the zone.

You can specify that a subset of the system's processors be dedicated to a non-global zone while it is running by using the dedicated-cpu resource. You can use dedicated-cpu properties to assign CPUs, cores, and sockets to a zone. The system dynamically creates a temporary pool for use while the zone is running. With specification through zonecfg, pool settings propagate during migrations. If you are configuring Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones, also see the virtual-cpu resource.

The pool property can be used to configure multiple zones that share the same pool.


Note - A zone configuration using a persistent pool set through the pool property is incompatible with a temporary pool configured through the dedicated-cpu resource. You can set only one of these two properties.
