Hi Dennis, Best would be not only to boot kmdb, but also to use the -ad boot options to have kmdb prompt you. When unix/genunix is loaded, set kmem_flags to 0xf via kmem_flags/W f That'll allow better diagnosis, see the memory debugging section of the modular debugger guide. Bye,

Admitedly, that is not your average PC, and while its fast its price-performance isn't leading, there are no Solaris systems on the list that beat it in absolute performance. Nor, indeed, any SPARC ones. Hopefully Rock will help out, eventually. Sun has not submitted a TPC-C benchmark

Hi Victor, when you set the capped-memory resources you have another option to limit the use of locked memory. Locked memory is allocated with a non- swappable flag and that is exacly the way Oracle uses to allocate its SGA. Probably on your configuration Oracle SGA is in the 1.5-1.6 GB

CPU's in the hardware sense are not allocated to zones, but the available compute resources are.. so in you scenario if all zones including the global are running at full utilization, i.e. CPU bound, then zone a gets 80/86*100% of the CPU resources, if you stop the CPU bound tasks in zone b
