Instead of vmstat, you should run "prstat -Z" on the global zone to figure out how the memory is used by your zones. There is no dedicated swap for zones, the virtual memory is global.
Have you capped the physical, swap or locked memory for that zone ?
What Solaris update are you using ?

I need to create a shared library to access an in memory DB. The DB is not huge, but big enough to make it cumbersome to carry around in every single process using the shared library.

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability.
Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)

zprint
ZPRINT(1) General Commands Manual ZPRINT(1)
NAME
zprint - show information about kernel zones
SYNOPSIS
zprint [-w] [-s] [-c] [-h] [name]
DESCRIPTION
zprint(1) displays data about Mach zones. By default, zprint will print out information about all Mach zones. If the optional name is
specified, zprint will print information about each zone for which name is a substring of the zone's name.
zprint interprets the following options:
-w For each zone, zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the space wasted by the zone.
-s zprint sorts the zones, showing the wasting the most memory first.
-c (Default) zprint prints zone info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and spaces are replaced with '.', to allow
for sorting by column. Pageable and collectible zones are shown with 'P' and 'C' on the far right. Zones with preposterously large
maximum sizes are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields.
-h (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option. It may be useful to override this option when sorting by col-
umn.
Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case; for example, -C overrides the (default)
option -c.
