The capped-memory resource sets limits for physical, swap, and locked memory. Each limit is optional, but at least one must be set. To use the capped-memory resource, the resource-cap package must be installed in the global zone. Also see capped-cpu Resource.
Determine values for this resource if you plan to cap memory for the zone by using rcapd from the global zone. The physical property of the capped-memory resource is used by rcapd as the max-rss value for the zone.
The swap property of the capped-memory resource is the preferred way to set the zone.max-swap resource control.
The locked property of the capped-memory resource is the preferred way to set the zone.max-locked-memory resource control.
For more information, see Chapter 10, About Physical Memory Control Using the Resource Capping Daemon, in Administering Resource Management in Oracle Solaris 11.2 , Chapter 11, Administering the Resource Capping Daemon Tasks, in Administering Resource Management in Oracle Solaris 11.2 , and How to Configure the Zone in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones . To temporarily set a resource cap for a zone, see How to Specify a Temporary Resource Cap for a Zone in Administering Resource Management in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
