Resource types in Solaris 10 configuration

* net - a network interface. As you remember, when adding such a resource, you have to specify a physically present network adapter card you have in your box, and zone’s network interface will be a virtual interface on this network adapter.
* device - any additional device. Using device names mask (for instance, /dev/pts*), you can allow a non-global zone access any devices you have on your actual system.
* fs - a file system. You can grant access to a physical disk or any directory of your actual system to any non-global zone. You can specify a file system type along with mount options, which is very convenient.
* inherit-pkg-dir - a globa zone root filesystem directory which is inherited by a non-global zone. Specifying a directory name, you’re pointing to the fact that all the files from this directory of your actual system (global zone) will not be physically copied into the non-global zone, but insteal will be inherited. The fact is, files from these directories will be accessible through a read-only loopback filesystem in your non-global zone (thanks, Dan!)
* attr - an attribute. With resources of this type you can create text comments for your zones – these comments might come in handy when you get back to reconfiguring your zone some time later.
* rctl - a zone-wide resource control. At this stage, there are only two parameters of this type -zone.cpu-shares and zone.max-lwps, but there will be more in the future. These parameters allow you to limit a CPU time given to a zone, and limit a max number of lwp processes which can be created in a zone.
