Solaris

Hi Folks,
Im running solaris 10 8/07 and im trying to set up some memory capping within zones for the system project.

ie.
zone1# cat /etc/project
system:0::::rcap.max-rss=41943040
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::
group.staff:10::::

zone2# cat /etc/project
system:0::::rcap.max-rss=31457280
user.root:1::::
noproject:2::::
default:3::::
group.staff:10::::

Now this seems to to work fine as when I check this Im getting the results I expect to see.
ie

zone1# rcapstat
id project nproc vm rss cap at avgat pg avgpg
0 system 30 192M 84M 40M 37G 0K 11G 0K

zone2# rcapstat
id project nproc vm rss cap at avgat pg avgpg
0 system 30 240M 31M 30M 42G 0K 11G 0K


However, when I check the memory usage of these zones from the global zone I get different results..

root@au11qap1i0tels2 [112] > prstat -n16 -Z


ZONEID NPROC SWAP RSS MEMORY TIME CPU ZONE
5 33 193M 84M 0.5% 0:05:43 0.3% zone1
6 33 240M 71M 0.4% 0:05:43 0.3% zone2
0 68 783M 798M 4.9% 19:05:07 0.0% global


Can someone let me know if this is a quirk with the way the rcapd communicates with the global zone ? or is something not right here ?

Thanx in advance.

DOH ! worked it out. the output im seeing is actually correct.
so the next question i have is, is there a way i can see the memory capping of individual zones from the global zone where the memory capping is set withing a zone ??

what did you do exactly to work this out?

ok, well the issue was with me not understanding the rcapstat command clearly. ie. im new to sol 10 so just playing around with it.
basically the rcapstat is showing us the memory caps defined in each zone. so for the example above its 40m and 30m.

however, when we run prstat from the global zone its showing ALL the memory being used by the zone which includes the capping set up for system.
