• Resource Pool — Click Browse to associate the zone with a resource pool that is available on the system. Default value: Not applicable.

Processor settings

Select Customize to specify any of the following settings:

• Processor Type — Select Capped or Dedicated.
  • Capped sets a limit on the amount of CPU resources that can be used by the zone while it is running. Enter a positive integer or positive decimal (with two digits to the right of the decimal) in the Number of CPUs or Range field to represent the CPU cap.
  • Dedicated allocates a subset of the system's processors for exclusive use by the zone while it is running. Enter a positive integer, positive decimal (with two digits to the right of the decimal), or a range in the Number of CPUs or Range field to represent the number of dedicated CPUs for the zone.
• Number of CPUs or Range — If you specified a CPU range, enter a positive integer or positive decimal (with two digits to the right of the decimal) in the Importance field.
• Importance — The Importance field defines the relative importance of the dynamic resource pool.

Memory settings

Use these settings to provide limits for the physical, swap, and locked memory usage of the zone. For example, you could specify a maximum swap memory of 256 MB for the zone. You must specify at least one of the memory settings when capping memory for the zone.
