Solaris Zone view


The Solaris Zone view is an Oracle Solaris implementation of operating system-level virtualization that provides a protected environment for applications to run in, and acts as isolated virtual servers within a single operating system instance. The applications are protected to provide software fault isolation.

To facilitate the management of multiple applications and their environments, they co-exist within one operating system instance, and are managed as one entity. A native, default zone on the Oracle Solaris OS is called a container, and the terms zone and container are often used interchangeably.

The Solaris Zone view enables you to manage the capacity of a virtualized infrastructure that runs the Solaris zones.

To access the Solaris Zone view, in the Helix Capacity Optimization Dashboard navigation pane, select Menu_big.png > Capacity > Views > Virtualization > Solaris > Zone. The Solaris Zone page contains subviews that provide details about Solaris zone hosts, zones, future saturations, and maps. 

For more information about the pages in this view, see the following topics:
