Solaris

'Solaris 9 container' package/product is supported on Solaris 10 operating system with Solaris containers technology(including solaris zones).

Using Solaris Container technology, A single physical machine can be divided into virtual servers called as containers in which user feels as if he is the only user. One container will not have access to another container even though they are on the single physical machine.

I have minimal hardware configuration of 1 CPU with Solaris 10 OS.

Getting a message,
cmsun2# pooladm -c
pooladm: configuration at '/etc/pooladm.conf' cannot be instantiated on current system


Let me know whether 1 CPU is ok for configuration of solaris containers.

Thanks!

Hi Shafi,

each non-global zone must be having a minimum of 1 cpu from the host which it is using.

Check the minimum requirements to start containers here.

This is incorrect. Several containers can share a single CPU. You can grant a subset of a CPU (cpu-shares property) to a container (zone).

So now , how to configure Solaris containers minumum of 2 using Single CPU ?

There is nothing specific to do. The'll both share that CPU.
