Goal

When the number of CPU-cores available in a SuperCluster Domain is reduced, care must be taken if this Domain is hosting Solaris Zones with CPU-resource pools. The size of the CPU-resource pools used by the Zones must be adjusted accordingly or the pools service (a.k.a. SMF system/pools service) can end up in maintenance state. This document provides instructions on how perform such a modification flawlessly.

On SuperCluster the number of CPU-cores available in a Domain is adjusted with the setcoremem tool.
