How does Solaris 9 Resource Manager relate to Solaris Containers ?
Sun plans to roll out components of Solaris containers in phases. The release of Solaris 9 Resource Manager marks the first step. It provides the framework for Solaris containers. With Solaris 9 Resource Manager, system administrators can establish resource boundaries (also known as resource pools) for a specific application, eliminating competition of resources with other applications. The first resource boundary which system administrators can establish with Solaris 9 Resource Manager is CPU. In future phases, system administrators will be able to establish boundaries for physical memory, swap space, and network I/ O bandwidth.
