Administering Resource Management in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Enable Resource Capping

There are three ways to enable resource capping on your system. Enabling resource capping also sets the /etc/rcap.conf file with default values.

1. Become an administrator with the Process Management and Service Configuration rights profiles.

   The root role has all of these rights. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Enable the resource capping daemon in one of the following ways:

   • Turn on resource capping using the svcadm command.

     # svcadm enable rcap

   • Enable the resource capping daemon so that it will be started now and also be started each time the system is booted:

     # rcapadm -E

   • Enable the resource capping daemon at boot without starting it now by also specifying the –n option:

     # rcapadm -n -E
