Limit No of CPU's visible in the Non Global Zone

We have 24 CPU Domain with Solaris 10 U4

We have a requirement where we need a non-global zone which shows total no of CPU's as 4 within this domain. It's application licensing requirement.

Can somebody suggest is it possible and if somebody has tried it how can this be done.

Thanks in Advance.

# 1

Create a resource pool, and associate that pool with the zone.

pooladm -e # enable poos

pooladm -s # save current state

poolcfg -c 'create pset pset_fourcpus (uint pset.min = 4; uint pset.max = 4)'

poolcfg -c 'create pool pool_fourcpus'

poolcfg -c 'associate pool pool_fourcpus (pset pset_fourcpus)'

pooladm -c # activate new configuration

In your zone configuration (I assume it already exists)

zonecfg -z your_zone

zonecfg:your_zone> set pool=pool_fourcpus

zonecfg:your_zone> verify

zonecfg:your_zone> commit

zonecfg:your_zone> exit

then restart the zone.
