I am subscribe to the official Sun Microsystem newsletter and I got this one directly from my inbox that I want to share to every Solaris SysAdmin out there:<\/p>\n
This How-To Guide instructs users, system administrators, and developers unfamiliar with Solaris 10 OS on consolidating applications onto a single server using Solaris Containers technology. The guide starts with a brief overview of Solaris Containers and follows with an example of using Solaris Containers to consolidate two Web server applications and an email server application onto a single server. Users are guided step-by-step through the consolidation process, with code examples and illustrations.<\/p>\n
After using this guide, a user should be able to create Solaris Containers by:<\/p>\n

\n * Defining Solaris Zones<\/strong>

\n * Installing and booting a zone<\/strong>
\n * Configuring access to raw devices from the zone<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAs part of the consolidation effort, it is important to
\nevaluate the needs of the applications that will share the
\nconsolidated system. In this example, the email server and
\nWeb server applications need to run in isolated
\nenvironments that make it appear as if they are running on
\nphysically separate machines. This is made possible by a
\nSolaris Container technology called Solaris Zones, which
\nprovides separate environments on a machine and logically
\nisolates applications from one another. Each application
\nreceives a dedicated namespace in which to run, and
\ncannot see, monitor, or affect applications running in
\nanother zone<\/p>\n
\nIn this example there are two types of applications, one
\nthat needs a fully dedicated CPU\u2014an email server, and
\nanother that is more flexible and can share CPUs\u2014the two
\nWeb servers. To accomplish these different levels of
\nisolation we use a Solaris Container technology called
\nDynamic Resource Pools that enables CPU resources to be
\ndedicated to specific applications. In this example, the
\nemail server needs a separate resource pool, while the Web
\nservers can share another<\/p>\n
\nWhile the two Web servers are capable of sharing the
\nremaining CPUs on the system, they each need a minimum
\nguarantee of CPU resources that will be available to them.
\nThis is made possible by another Solaris Container
\ntechnology called the Fair Share Scheduler (FSS). This
\nsoftware enables CPU resources to be allocated
\nproportionally to applications. That is, each application
\ngets assigned a number of the available \u201cshares\u201d of the
\ntotal CPU.<\/p>\n
