Managing capacity for Solaris containers

Solaris 10 introduced the ability to clone the base operating system to create what is known as Containers (Zones). 

I'll be hosting a web presentation tomorrow which will provide some insight and understanding into this technology, specifically covering the main differences between Zones and Containers, their rival comparatives, Process and Extended Accounting and associated benefits.

I'll also be discussing Capacity and Performance reporting, focusing on effective Zone reporting through the use of the correct commands. 

I'll show you how to check and set correct permissions for Zone file system reporting access and explain how and when Shared Memory can be reported incorrectly, and how to do it the right way. 

The agenda I'll be covering:
