How to Enable Memory Live Zone Reconfiguration

Perform this procedure to add two automatically generated MAC addresses to a kernel zone.

  1. Ensure that your Oracle Solaris host system and your Oracle Solaris guest systems run the required versions of Oracle Solaris 11 operating system.
  2. Enable the memory live zone reconfiguration feature.
    1. Configure the kernel zone.
      # zonecfg -z kz-name
    2. Set the host-compatible property to a value that supports memory live zone reconfiguration.

      Valid property values are native, memlzr, level2, and level1,memlzr.

      zonecfg:kz-name> set host-compatible=mlzr-value
    3. Commit the change.
      zonecfg:kz-name> commit
    4. Exit zonecfg.
      zonecfg:kz-name> exit
    5. Reboot the kernel zone.
      # zoneadm -z kz-name reboot

    The following example commands enable memory live zone reconfiguration on an SPARC host system. The commands set the host-compatible property value to level2 for the somekz kernel zone, commit the change, and reboot the kernel zone:

    # zonecfg -z somekz
    zonecfg:somekz> set host-compatible=level2
    zonecfg:somekz> commit
    zonecfg:somekz> exit
    # zoneadm -z somekz reboot
