SAR Report on Cores/ Threads Per Zone
I am trying to understand the CPU utilization on my server.
its running Solaris 10 in an container (zone)
the physical server has 1 cpu, 4 cores and 2 threads per core.
the zone has been configured to use only 6 threads (3 cores)
So when i run sar -u reports against the zone, i am seeing the CPU is idle 70% most of the time. which i am happy with.
But my question is, does the sar report on only the 6 threads assigned to the zone or all 8 threads available to the CPU?
