[osol-discuss] Trying to get accurate CPU and Load info off of a capped Zone

We've assigned resources to a non-global zone where I have cpu-shares at 8. When I do a prstat -Z, the load average I see is reflecting the entire server and not the zone. The load average also doesn't reflect the portion of cpu-shares allocated at 8 out of xx cpu-shares. Is there a way I can

Re: [osol-discuss] Question on how Swap works
