How to Obtain Network Bandwidth Utilization for Exclusive-IP Zones

The zonestat command used with the –r option and network resource type shows the per-zone utilization of each network device.

Use this procedure to view how much data-link bandwidth in the form of VNICs is used by each zone. For example, zoneB displayed under net0 indicates that this zone consumes resources of net0 in the form of VNICs. The specific VNICs can be displayed by also adding the –x option.

1. Become an administrator.

2. Use the network resource type to the zonestat command with the –r option to display the utilization one time.

   	# zonestat -r network 1 1
