Strict Method Memory Resize Request Failure
This example uses the strict method to perform a memory resizing operation. First, set the capped-memory:memlzr
property value to strict
to enable the strict method. Next, reduce the amount of RAM for the kz3
kernel zone to 4 Gbytes and apply the changes. This result shows that the commands fail to reduce the RAM size of kz3
to the requested 4 Gbytes because the strict value is in effect. As a result, the RAM size of the kz3
kernel zone is unchanged at 16 Gbytes and the zonecfg apply
command returns 1
.
