Hi folks,<br />
<br />
I have a Solaris 10 host with multiple non-global zones. &nbsp;A couple of them are now starting to misbehave and I need to consider implementing some resource controls. &nbsp;Specifically, I would like to know if it is possible to restrict the physical memory available to a zone, and if so, how?<br />
<br />
I must admitt I have found the literature available on the topic confusing so any help would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Regards<br />

Setting physical memory limits for Solaris non-global zone

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
