8 poold \- automated resource pools partitioning daemon
12 \fBpoold\fR [\fB-l\fR \fIlevel\fR]
18 \fBpoold\fR provides automated resource partitioning facilities. \fBpoold\fR
19 can be enabled or disabled using the Solaris Service Management Facility,
20 \fBsmf\fR(5). \fBpoold\fR requires the Resource Pools facility to be active in
24 The dynamic resource pools service's fault management resource identifier
29 svc:/system/pools/dynamic
35 The resource pools service's FMRI is:
45 \fBpoold\fR's configuration details are held in a \fBlibpool\fR(3LIB)
46 configuration and you can access all customizable behavior from this
50 \fBpoold\fR periodically examines the load on the system and decides whether
51 intervention is required to maintain optimal system performance with respect to
52 resource consumption. \fBpoold\fR also responds to externally initiated (with
53 respect to \fBpoold\fR) changes of either resource configuration or objectives.
56 If intervention is required, \fBpoold\fR attempts to reallocate the available
57 resources to ensure that performance objectives are satisfied. If it is not
58 possible for \fBpoold\fR to meet performance objectives with the available
59 resources, then a message is written to the log. \fBpoold\fR allocates scarce
60 resources according to the objectives configured by the administrator. The
61 system administrator must determine which resource pools are most deserving of
62 scarce resource and indicate this through the importance of resource pools and
67 The following options are supported:
71 \fB\fB-l\fR \fIlevel\fR\fR
74 Specify the vebosity level for logging information.
76 Specify \fIlevel\fR as \fBALERT\fR, \fBCRIT\fR, \fBERR\fR, \fBWARNING\fR,
77 \fBNOTICE\fR, \fBINFO\fR, and \fBDEBUG\fR. If \fIlevel\fR is not supplied, then
78 the default logging level is \fBINFO\fR.
85 A condition that should be corrected immediately, such as a corrupted system
95 Critical conditions, such as hard device errors.
122 Conditions that are not error conditions, but that may require special
132 Informational messages.
141 Messages that contain information normally of use only when debugging a
149 When invoked manually, with the \fB-l\fR option, all log output is directed to
153 \fBExample 1 \fRModifying the Default Logging Level
156 The following command modifies the default logging level to \fBERR\fR:
161 # /usr/lib/pool/poold -l ERR
167 \fBExample 2 \fREnabling Dynamic Resource Pools
170 The following command enables dynamic resource pools:
175 # /usr/sbin/svcadm enable svc:/system/pools/dynamic
