Yes! The Resource Management model being hierarchical, the first thing to do is to assign a number of shares to each non-global zone ( See 5.1 ). Within the non-global zone, the non-global zone administrator may now create projects in the standard way to differentiate between workloads running in the same non-global zone. Resource contention between these workloads can be resolved by assigning FSS shares to the projects.

Yes! The standard Resource Management features have been extended to zones. The Fair Share Scheduler is a scheduling class controlling the proportion of CPU time that a certain entity may use. The administrator of the Global zone is in charge of setting the new ressource control zone.cpu-shares to assign a number of shares to each non-global zone ( the Global zone is assigned 1 share by default ).

Yes! And no… The reource capping feature of Solaris Resource Management allows one to set an upper bound to the amount of RAM used by a certain project. By creating projects inside a non-global zone and setting the rcap.max-rss project parameter, you can limit the amount of memory used by all the processes belonging to that project. So it is not a zone-aware feature but it can be used within non-global zones through the use of projects.

there is only one TCP/IP stack, the complete network information must be configured from the Global zone. The Global zone administrator can add one (or more) default route for each subnet, the kernel will make sure that the right one is used for each non-global zone depending on its IP & netmask.

Not yet but it will be eventually. A Sun engineer has started working on this. More information. If you can live with an unsupported procedure, have a look at this lab.

Snoop works by talking to the “DLPI” interface that itself contacts the appropriate NIC drivers. To implement the network isolation feature of non-global zones, access to DLPI and the lower levels interfaces is disallowed.

Yes. Just use the “ifconfig” command from the Global zone. Don’t forget to also update the non-global zone’s configuration if you want the change to be persistent.

Yes, as long as it doesn’t require the exporting of a new disk device to the non-global zone. See Question 2.5 & Question 3.7

Configurable only from the Global zone. A restriction is that IPFilter cannot be used to restrict access between 2 non-global zones. The loopback interface is used for that purpose and IPFilter cannot be used to inspect packets goign through that interface. See question 3.2. Starting with Solaris 10 06/06, Zfs is available as a standard supported feature. A siple HOWTO document describes few of the possibilities of integrating Solaris Zones & ZFS. Read the document or go to the sun.

Yes! First create a processor set that contains some of your CPUs ( be careful, you still need some CPU time for the Kernel! ). Then create a resource pool and bind the processor set to it. Finally bind your non-global zone to the same resource pool. All the processes running in your non-global zone will then run on the CPUs you selected by creating the processor set.

To help prevent its spread, many Governments and health officials are working hard to bring about a greater civilian awareness of the dangers of avian flu and the importance of swift precautionary action when new cases are identified or infections suspected in both birds and/or humans.

After the non-global zone has been installed, all kind of typical identity information needs to be provided. It can be done in two ways: Interactively : the Global zone administrator boots the zone for the first time. A “sysidtool” process ( the same that the one used for a standard installation ) is then launched inside the non-global zone. The administrator needs then to connect to the non-global zone console using the “zlogin -C my-zone” command.

Once Global Crossroad receives and reviews your completed application, it is then forwarded to our In-Country Coordinator in Ghana who will then finalize a specific placement as per your qualifications and request.

There are over 40 projects using or committed to using the Global JXDM for their data exchange applications. If you are interested in collaborating or sharing experiences with any of these organizations, refer to the Organizations Utilizing the Global JXDM list.

Bolivia is four hours behind GMT (one hour ahead of EST). They do not observe daylight-savings time so during these months (April-October), Bolivia is on EST.

The Japanese have a (seemingly) longer day than the rest of the world... This is actually their way of indicating hours extending beyond midnight, so why restart the clock at one.But seriously, what would you do with extra two hours a day?  Soil contamination as well as water contamination can occur in several different ways and can have extreme harmful reactions on the human body.

We are working on adding an option where members will be able to specify their time zone. For now, though, the entire site is set to Pacific time.

Peru is five hours behind GMT (same as EST). They do not observe daylight-savings time so during these months (April-October), Peru is on CST.

Our main office in Crossville, Tennessee is located in the Central Standard Time (CST) zone. However, Crossville is located within ten miles of the Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone line. Since we base our experiences out of parks all over Eastern Tennessee, we run the scheduling for each trip based on the local time of each group's base camp. For simplicity sake, we ask all groups to arrive at their camping location after 6pm (CST) on Sunday evening.
