Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)
Purpose
This document describes how to assess current zone CPU pool configurations using the attached script. It will discuss the pros and cons of aligning CPU pools to core (and socket) boundaries and also touch use cases for sharing CPU pools. Finally, some hints for correcting CPU pools are given, along with links to further documentation.
Scope
This document applies to all Solaris systems using CPU pools for zones. Focusing on SPARC, it also applies to x86 systems. While written with SuperCluster deployments in mind, it also applies to generic deployments.
