Is there any easy way under Solaris 8 to limit the amount of physically memory seen or used within a Solaris server.
I have a server with 4 CPU's and 16GB memory but wanted to run a benchmark with a simulated memory of only 8GB can I reduce it using Solaris only, or do I have to either physically remove DIMMs or can I issue an OBP command ?
I am not interested in what I could or could not do with DR in a partitionable machine !!
If I was doing this under AIX I know I can issue the "rmss" command from the OS which is part of the performance toolkit, probably issues a MALLOC and grabs the memory so nothing else can use it.
