Check Solaris Zones Processor & Memory allocations
Hi,
I am a newbee in the solaris administration. My question is how to
1. Check the total CPU and memory of a global zone.
2. Check the allocated CPU and memory for each of the residing non-global zones.

I have already tried prtconf which gives the following output
Code:
/usr/sbin/prtconf
System Configuration:  Sun Microsystems  sun4v
Memory size: 32544 Megabytes
.....truncated

but i am unable to find out the processors and memory allocated for each non-global zone.
The zonestat utility is not present in the system.
Kindly help

Thanks,
Poga

CPU and memory is shared between all zones. They can be capped and to know it, the simplest way is to look at each zone configuration:

Code:
zonecfg -z zonename info

Thanks jlliagre.
But how to interpret the following info in terms of the CPU and memory allocations in layman terms.

Code:
 /usr/sbin/zonecfg -z MyZone info
zonename: MyZone
zonepath: /zones/MyZone/MyZone
brand: native
autoboot: true
bootargs:
pool:
limitpriv:
scheduling-class:
ip-type: shared

There is no memory capping.
The zone can use at most 2 CPUs.

see the command prstat and the -Z option.

example with prstat -Z 1:
