How to find out which pid is consuming %usr kernel cpu resources
#prstat -m
eg.
$ prstat -m

For solaris 10 can use dtrace, see example below

On with the show: let's say you're looking at mpstat(1) output on your
multiuser server. You might see something like this:

And well you may wonder (as perhaps you often have) -- what the hell is
causing all of those cross calls, anyway? (Cross calls appear in the "xcal"
column; see mpstat(1).)

Using DTrace, investigating this is a snap:

# dtrace -n xcalls'{@[execname] = count()}'

Solaris 10: mount a disk slice in a sub-zone

Non-global zones in Solaris 10 do not have the ability to see drives or disk slices (to prove this, list the contents of /dev/dsk from within a zone). What filesystems are mounted in which zones is controlled exclusively from the global zone. This recipe describes persistently mounting a disk slice in a non-global zone.
To mount the device c0t1d0s3 in the existing zone testzone under the mount point /mnt, login to the global zone and become root or a priviledged user and complete the following steps:



zonecfg -z testzone
zonecfg:testzone> add fs
zonecfg:testzone:fs> set dir=/mnt
zonecfg:testzone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3
zonecfg:testzone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s3
zonecfg:testzone:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:testzone:fs> end
zonecfg:testzone> verify
zonecfg:testzone> commit
zonecfg:testzone> exit

Following the commit command, the filesystem will be immediately available in the zone. Substitute the desired mount point and device name for your system. If the zone has not yet been created, you can use the 'add fs' commands when creating the zone.

Solaris SVM grow concat//stripe

HOw to grow filesystem under disksuite without soft partiotion for concat stripe
find unused disk by #metastat | grep -i 2f5
then, use format cmd to repatition the disk
