Creating and Using Oracle^® Solaris Zones

How to Modify a Resource Type in a Zone Configuration

You can select a resource type and modify the specification for that resource.

1. Become a zone administrator.

   For more information, see Assigning Limited Rights to Zone Administrators.

2. Select the zone to be modified, my-zone in this procedure.

   global$ zonecfg -z my-zone

3. Select the resource type to be changed, for example, a resource control.

   zonecfg:my-zone> select rctl name=zone.cpu-shares

4. Remove the current value.

   zonecfg:my-zone:rctl> remove value (priv=privileged,limit=20,action=none)

5. Add the new value.

   zonecfg:my-zone:rctl> add value (priv=privileged,limit=10,action=none)

6. End the revised rctl specification.

   zonecfg:my-zone:rctl> end

7. Commit the zone configuration for the zone.

   zonecfg:my-zone> commit

8. Exit the zonecfg command.

   zonecfg:my-zone> exit

   Note that even if you did not explicitly type commit at the prompt, a commit is automatically attempted when you type exit or an EOF occurs.

   Committed changes made through zonecfg take effect the next time the zone is booted.
