S10 Zones and Dedicated CPUs
I'm trying to allocate a total of 160 CPU strands (20-cores total) across a total of six zones on a T3-2 server using the "dedicated-cpu" parameter.When I try to boot all of the zones I randomly receive the following error message:
# zoneadm -z myzone boot
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': libpool(3LIB) error: System error
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': dedicated-cpu setting cannot be instantiated
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': call to zoneadmd failed
There are enough CPU strands to support this configuration.
It seems to occur more frequently when I reach the max number of strands (128) for CPU-0.
The first couple of zones always boot fine, if I subsequently shutdown a zone I can then start the zone that is producing the error.
# zoneadm -z myzone boot
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': libpool(3LIB) error: System error
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': dedicated-cpu setting cannot be instantiated
zoneadm: zone 'myzone': call to zoneadmd failed
