We have a zone configured in our X4600 machine with memory capped to 16GB. Most of the time zone is running with high physical memory utilization. It seems from "top" command shows that the command "kernel" is locks 15GB phy. memory and not using swap memory. Whenever we restart the application running on this zone which releases the memory and in next 24hrs we are facing the same issue.

There are 2 GB of free memory in the zone from what you posted. It also does not look like there is a problem. Is rcapd running constantly? - what is the output of
(run from the global zone.)
That will tell us if you are actually "bumping heads" with memory limit.
Are worried that too much memory is being used? I don't see a big problem at all.
Though the server have 2GB free memory it is only ~13% of the capped memory (16GB). So we keep gettinng high memory alert all the time.

I have two physical servers, with zones that mount local storage.
We were using "raw device" in the zonecfg to point to a metadevice on the global zone (it was not mounted in the global zone at any point).
It failed to mount on every boot because the directory existed in the zone.

Calling upon all Solaris zone experts.
I have a Sun T3-1 that is running a few whole-root zones. I've set the 'capped-memory' setting on all the zones.
However, I have a problem on the one zone. Under load it uses more memory that has been allocated to it.

Is it possible to restrict physical memory in solaris zone with zone.max-locked-memory just like we can do with rcapd ? I do not want to used rcapd (1 Reply)
We have several containers on one machine and would like to reserve some memory for the global zone. capped-memory only allows max physical/swap and setting a max on each container isn't an option. The server has 32GB physical and 30GB swap. Currently there are ten containers on it. Normally... (6 Replies)
I had detached a zone earlier now when i try to install it it gives me following error

Cannot install detached zone.
Use attach or remove /zones/app/OEM1_wa_lab directory.
could not verify zonepath /zones/app/OEM1_wa_lab because of the above errors.

Guys,
How to find memory size on solaris zone? We have total 16 GB and have 3 zone, but not sure how to find memory size for each zone? Please help. (1 Reply)
How does capped-memory work in zones?
I have 32G of memory and 10 zones.
I want about physical=4G and swap=4G in each zone.
Is this possible? I am going over the 32G. (1 Reply)
