CPUs can be shared
Works on all systems
Virtually unlimited partitioning (max is 8191 non-global zones)
Single system patch level
Most admin operations can be applied to all containers in a single operation
Very little performance overhead for zone infrastructure

LDoms

Sun4v systems only
Multiple OS images
Multiples of CPU granularity
Dedicated kernel, memory, file systems
Can support other OSes
CPUs can not be shared (CPUs here refers to a strand/thread)
Currently available on Tx000, T5xy0 only

NAME
wmSMPmon - Window Maker System Monitor SYNOPSIS
wmSMPmon [options] DESCRIPTION
wmSMPmon is a Window Maker dock application that displays the following information about the system: - Current CPU utilization of up to two CPUs - Up to two minutes history of CPU utilization - Current memory usage - Current swap usage On dual CPU systems, wmSMPmon has three different styles for the utilization graph. To toggle between them just click into the graph. OPTIONS
All options start with one dash. -h Show summary of options. -r REFRESH_RATE Set the refresh rate of the graph in microseconds. The default is 250000 (a quarter of a second). -g GRAPH_STYLE Start using graph style #[1-3] (only on dual CPU systems). Style 1 shows the utiliziation in one graph, while 2 and 3 are split in two little graphs. Style 2 shows the two graphs on top of each other. Style 3 uses a mirror like type. The default style is 1, which is also the style used on single CPU systems. -c1 IDX, -c2 IDX On systems with more than 2 CPUs, select the CPUs to show. Per default CPU number 1 and 2 are shown. On a quad CPU systems you may launch second wmSMPmon showing CPUs number 3 and 4. -no-swap Do not monitor swap. SEE ALSO
