crossbow discuss - Jan 2008 - CPU caps available in Crossbow distribution?

Hi,

Is the CPU caps feature
(http://opensolaris.org/os/project/rm/rctls/cpu-caps/) available in the
Crossbow distribution? Uname -a shows that our distribution is snv_61-xb_15.

Is this a regular feature in the original OpenSolaris distribution?

Thanks,
Pradeep

Never mind. I just figured that I can access the features using prctl
command or the capctl perl script.

The CPU caps are not going to work for the networking traffic. You
will need to use the cpu-list option with dladm to make that work.
We are about to push a new set of bits thats is based on snv_76
and has all the functionality. You should try that.

With cpu-list, I won''t be able to specify slices with in a single CPU 
for a zone. Is that right?

Where can I get the new bits? Is there an easy way to upgrade with out 
re-installing every thing?

Thanks,

That is right.

The bits should be out before the end of this month.
