About Managing Kernel Zone Resources

Zone configuration resources enable you to manage the system resources for a zone. You specify resources when creating a zone configuration. Some resources apply only to kernel zones.

This section describes how to manage resources for the following components:

• Managing Kernel Zone CPUs

• Managing Kernel Zone Memory

• Managing Kernel Zone Storage Devices and Boot Order

• Managing Kernel Zone Network Devices and Configuration

• Managing Single-Root I/O NIC Virtualization on Kernel Zones

• Configuring the suspend Resource Type

• Using Verified Boot to Secure an Oracle Solaris Kernel Zone

• Working with IPoIB and Kernel Zones

You use the zonecfg command in the global zone to manage kernel zone resources.

Note:

You must be an administrator assigned the appropriate zone administration rights in the global zone to use the zonecfg command. For more information, see Using Rights Profiles to Install and Manage Zones in Creating and Using Oracle Solaris Zones.

For more information about zone resources, see Oracle Solaris Zones Configuration Resources and the solaris-kz(7) man page.
