Actually no. However, I have created other zones on ZFS pools. These zones run Oracle software that looks for available RAM before starting. If there is no RAM available, the software pukes out an error msg and dies.

I also found this link about limiting the amount of ZFS ARC in memory.

I'm just looking for ways to get these zones up and running while managing memory effectively. I'm also new at using ZFS and zones so I'm going through a bit of a learning curve too. Smilie

Any help is greatly appreciated.

NAME
zdb - ZFS debugger SYNOPSIS
zdb pool DESCRIPTION
The zdb command is used by support engineers to diagnose failures and gather statistics. Since the ZFS file system is always consistent on disk and is self-repairing, zdb should only be run under the direction by a support engineer. If no arguments are specified, zdb, performs basic consistency checks on the pool and associated datasets, and report any problems detected. Any options supported by this command are internal to Sun and subject to change at any time. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 The pool is consistent. 1 An error was detected. 2 Invalid command line options were specified. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWzfsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Unstable | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
