Symptoms
Some Solaris Cluster resources controlling failover zones are failing to start upon failover and /var/adm/messages shows errors like these:
Changes
The system had configured some zones with "dedicated-cpu" property and setting specific cpus for the zone using the "cpus" property while other were using "ncpus".
Such constraints are typically used either for licensing reasons (to restrict number of cpus usable by applications in the zone) .
They are also used to assign non-overlapping sets of cpus to different zones to better partition the server hardware across different workloads.
