2.1.5.2. Memory resource management
[ug] In Solaris 10 (in an update of Solaris 9 as well), main memory consumption can be limited at the
level of zones, projects and processes. This is implemented with the so-called resource capping
daemon (rcapd).
A limit for physical memory consumption is defined for the respective objects. If consumption of one
of the projects exceeds the defined limit, the rcapd causes little-used main memory pages of
processes to be paged out. The sum of the space consumption of the processes is used as a
measurement parameter.

In this manner, the defined main memory requirement is complied with. The capacity of processes in
the corresponding object drops as they may need to swap pages back in again if necessary if the
memory areas are used again. Continuous swapping of main memory pages is an indication that the
available main memory is too low or that the settings are too tight or the application currently needs
more than the negotiated amount of memory.

available main memory is too low or that the settings are too tight or the application currently needs
more than the negotiated amount of memory.
For simplification, starting with Solaris 10 8/07, memory limits can be set for each zone. The amount
of physical memory used (physical), the virtual memory (swap) and locked segments (main
memory pages that cannot be swapped, shared memory segments) can be limited. The settings for
virtual and locked memory are hard limits, that is, once the corresponding value has been reached, a
request of an application for more memory is denied. The limit for physical memory, however, is
monitored by the rcapd, which successively swaps main memory pages if the limit is exceeded.

2.1.5.3. Network resource management (IPQoS = IP Quality of Service)
[ug] In Solaris 10 (also Solaris 9) it is possible to classify network traffic and to manage the data rate
of the classes. One example is giving preference to a web server's network traffic over network
backup. Service to the customer should not suffer while network backup is running.

Configuration is done using rules in a file that is activated with the command ipqosconf. The rules
consist of a part that allows the user to classify network traffic, and actions to manage the data
rate/burst rate. Classification can take place among other things according to some or all of the
following parameters:

following parameters:
•
Address of sender or recipient
•
Port number
•
Data traffic type (UDP, TCP)
•
Userid of the local process
•
Project of the local process (/etc/project)
•
IP traffic TOS field (change priority in an ongoing connection)
2.1.6. User interfaces for zones
[dd] A variety of tools are available for working with zones and containers. Solaris itself provides a
series of command line interface (CLI) tools such as zoneadm, zonecfg and zlogin that allow
you to undertake the configuration and installation of zones on the command line or in scripts.

The Solaris Container Manager is available as a graphical user interface (GUI)
(

with the Sun Management Center (SunMC). The Container Manager allows simple and rapid
creation, reconfiguration or migration of zones through its user interface, and the effective use of
resource management.

With its zone module, Webmin supplies a browser user interface (BUI) for the installation and
management of zones. The module can be downloaded from
management of zones. The module can be downloaded from
http://www.webmin.com/standard.html
as zones.wbm.gz.
