Adding a virtual-cpu Resource to a Kernel Zone

The virtual-cpu resource type specifies the number of virtualized CPUs visible to the kernel zone. On the host system, virtualized CPUs share CPU time with other zones. Setting a virtual-cpu resource is beneficial for consolidation, but can affect system performance. For more information and examples, see virtual-cpu Resource Type (solaris-kz Only) in Oracle Solaris Zones Configuration Resources.
