Create Resource Pool

You can create a resource pool for use in allocating resources to zones, projects, and applications on a Solaris Zones server. After you create a resource pool, you can assign it to a zone during zone creation.

To create a resource pool

1. Right-click a Solaris Zones server on the Explore pane and select Management, Create Resource Pool.

   The Create Resource Pool dialog appears.

2. Complete the following fields and click OK:

   Name

   Identifies the resource pool name.

   Min CPU Shares

   Identifies the minimum number of CPU shares that the pool must have at any time.

   Max CPU Shares

   Identifies the maximum number of CPU shares that the pool can have.

   Processor Set Name

   Identifies the pool's processor set name.

   Scheduler Type

   Identifies the type of scheduling to use when allocating resources. Select FSS to use Fair Share Scheduling to allocate resources based on workload importance (the number of CPU shares specified for a project or task).

   The pool is created, and a confirmation message appears.

3. Click the Summary tab for the Zones server on which you created the pool, and select Resource Pools in the Show drop-down list to verify that the pool was created.
