The storage node is the repository of all the data transacted within the OpenStack setup.
To better manage memory use between ZFS and applications in Oracle Solaris 11, set the usr_reserve_hint_pct parameter on the node, as shown in the following example:
# echo "set user_reserve_hint_pct=80" >>/etc/system.d/site:kernel-zones-reserve # reboot
where site can refer to your company.
You should set this parameter on the different OpenStack nodes as well.
