This chapter discusses the following technologies:
Resource pools, which are used for partitioning machine resources
Dynamic resource pools (DRPs), which dynamically adjust each resource pool's resource allocation to meet established system goals
Resource pools and dynamic resource pools are services in the Oracle Solaris service management facility (SMF). Each of these services is enabled separately.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
About Enabling and Disabling Resource Pools and Dynamic Resource Pools
