Use Solaris Containers to better utilize your modern, powerful T2 server with hundreds of virtual processors. In our lab, we use Processor Sets to partition virtual processors. We create a vertical cluster with six Portal members, then bind each member to a Solaris Processor Set, this configuration gives the optimum performance result.

The commands we use to setup,

1.”pooladm –e” to enable pool facility

2.”pooladm –s” to create a static configuration file that matches the current dynamic configuration

3.”poolcfg –c ‘create wp_pset1 (unit pset.min=20; unit pset.amx =21)’”

Create a processor set, named wp_pset1 or your choice, with between 20 and 21 processors. Create one per processor set.

4.”poolcfg –c ‘create pool wp_pool1’”

Create resource pool named wp_pool1 or your choice.

Create one per pool.

5.”poolcfg –c ‘associate pool wp_pool1(pset wp_pset1)’”

Join the pool and the processor set with an association.

Do this for each Processor set.

6.”pooladm –c”

Commit the configuration at /etc/pooladm.conf.

7.”poolbind –p wp_pool1 <PortalPID>”

Bind the resource pool to a Portal process.
