Resource management in solaris zones : Dynamic Resource pools
Resource pools in solaris 10/solaris 11 provides a mechanism to assign processor set and scheduling class to non-global zone. The resource pool framework is as shown in the figure below. The dynamic resource pools comes in extremely useful when you have a variable load on zones and you want to dynamically change the resource allocation […]

How to clone a solaris 11 zone
In the last post we saw how to install and configure a basic solaris 11 zone. We can use the ZFS clone feature to clone the existing zone to create new ones. This saves us the time to install and create new zone everytime with all the new softwares that are common to all the […]
How to create a zone in solaris 11
In oracle solaris 10, zones was introduced which gave us an ability to create isolated environments for applications that can run on a single machine. Solaris 11 has added a lot of new features to the zones technology. Let us get started and see how we can create a zone in solaris 11. In case […]
Comparing Network configuration : Solaris 10 Vs Solaris 11
One of the best things I like about solaris 11 over solaris 10 is the huge change in the network stack in solaris 11. Oracle has added loads of new features to the networking stack of solaris 11. We’ll be discussing the new features in solaris 11 network stack and also compare it with solaris […]
How to configure Probe Based IPMP in Solaris 11
In the last post we have seen how to configure link based IPMP in solaris 11. Let us see how we can configure a probe-based IPMP in solaris 11. Solaris 11 uses 2 methods for probe-based failure detection 1. Using test addreses (default method) 2. Transitive Probing – No test addresses are used To enable […]
How to configure link based IPMP in Solaris 11
Oracle made a tone of changes to its networking stack in Solaris 11. Persistent network configuration is now managed by SMF, and not by editing following files : /etc/defaultdomain /etc/dhcp.* /etc/hostname.* /etc/hostname.ip*.tun* /etc/nodename /etc/nsswitch.conf IPMP conponents : 1. mpathd daemon – This daemon is responsible to detect an interface failure or repair. It uses a […]
