DESCRIPTION
The psrset utility controls the management of processor sets. Processor
sets allow the binding of processes or LWPs to groups of processors,
rather than just a single processor. Processors assigned to processor
sets can run only LWPs that have been bound to that processor set.
This command cannot be used to modify processor disposition when pools
are enabled. Use pooladm(1M) and poolcfg(1M) to modify processor set
configuration through the resource pools facility.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a
Assign the specified processors to the specified processor set.
With the additional -F option, all LWPs bound to the specified
processors will be unbound prior to changing processor sets.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-b [-z zonename]
Bind all or a subset of the LWPs of the specified processes to
the specified processor set. If -z is specified, all processes
and threads inside the specified zone are bound to the processor
set.
LWPs bound to a processor set are restricted to run only on the
processors in that set. Processes can only be bound to non-empty
processor sets, that is, processor sets that have had processors
assigned to them.
Bindings are inherited, so new LWPs and processes created by a
bound LWP have the same binding. Binding an interactive shell to
a processor, for example, binds all commands executed by the
shell.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-c
Create a new processor set and displays the new processor set ID.
With the additional -F option, all LWPs bound to the specified
processors will be unbound prior to assigning them to the proces‐
sor set being created.
If a list of processors is given, it also attempts to assign
those processors to the processor set. If this succeeds, the pro‐
cessors are idle until LWPs are bound to the processor set. This
option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG privi‐
lege.
Only a limited number of processor sets can be active (created
and not destroyed) at a given time. This limit is always be
greater than the number of processors in the system. If the -c
option is used when the maximum number of processor sets is
already active, the command fails.
The following format is used for the first line of output of the
-c option when the LC_MESSAGES locale category specifies the "C"
locale. In other locales, the strings created, processor, and set
can be replaced with more appropriate strings corresponding to
the locale.
"created processor set %d\n" processor set ID
-d
Remove the specified processor set, releasing all processors and
processes associated with it.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-e
Execute a command (with optional arguments) in the specified pro‐
cessor set.
The command process and any child processes are executed only by
processors in the processor set.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-f
Disables interrupts for all processors within the specified pro‐
cessor set. See psradm(1M).
If some processors in the set cannot have their interrupts dis‐
abled, the other processors still have their interrupts disabled,
and the command reports an error and return non-zero exit status.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-F
Forces the specified processor set operation by unbinding all
threads bound to the specified processor. Only the -a or the -r
option can be used in combination with this option. Administra‐
tors are encouraged to use the -Q option for pbind(1M) to find
out which threads will be affected by such operation.
-i
Display a list of processors assigned to each named processor
set. If no argument is given, a list of all processor sets and
the processors assigned to them is displayed. This is also the
default operation if the psrset command is not given an option.
-n
Enable interrupts for all processors within the specified proces‐
sor set. See psradm(1M).
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-p
Display the processor set assignments for the specified list of
processors. If no argument is given, the processor set assign‐
ments for all processors in the system is given.
-q
Display the processor set bindings of the specified processes or
of all processes. If a process is composed of multiple LWPs which
have different bindings and the LWPs are not explicitly speci‐
fied, the bindings of only one of the bound LWPs is displayed.
The bindings of a subset of LWPs can be displayed by appending
"/lwpids" to the process IDs. Multiple LWPs may be selected using
"-" and "," delimiters. See EXAMPLES.
-Q
Display the LWPs bound to the specified list of processor sets,
or all LWPs with processor set bindings.
-r
Remove a list of processors from their current processor sets.
Processors that are removed return to the general pool of proces‐
sors.
Processors with LWPs bound to them using pbind(1M) can be
assigned to or removed from processor sets using the -F option.
This option is restricted to users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG
privilege.
-u
Remove the processor set bindings of a subset or all the LWPs of
the specified processes, allowing them to be executed on any on-
line processor if they are not bound to individual processors
through pbind.
Users with the PRIV_SYS_RES_CONFIG privilege can unbind any
process or LWP from any active processor set. Other users can
unbind processes and LWPs from processor sets that do not have
the PSET_NOESCAPE attribute set. In addition, the user must have
permission to control the affected processes; the real or effec‐
tive user ID of the user must match the real or saved user ID of
the target processes.
-U
Removes the bindings of all LWPs bound to the specified list of
processor sets, or to any processor set if no argument is speci‐
fied.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
pid
Specify pid as a process ID.
lwpid
The set of LWPIDs of the specified process to be
controlled or queried. The syntax for selecting
LWP IDs is as follows:
2,3,4-8 LWP IDs 2, 3, and 4 through 8
-4 LWPs whose IDs are 4 or below
4- LWPs whose IDs are 4 or above
processor_id
Specify processor_id as an individual processor
number (for example, 3), multiple processor numbers
separated by spaces (for example, 1 2 3), or a
range of processor numbers (for example, 1-4). It
is also possible to combine ranges and (individual
or multiple) processor_ids (for example, 1-3 5 7-8
9).
processor_set_id
Specify processor_set_id as a processor set ID.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion.
non-0
An error occurred.

The following output indicates that the specified process did not exist
or has exited:
psrset: cannot query pid 31: No such process
The following output indicates that the user does not have permission
to bind the process:
psrset: cannot bind pid 31: Not owner
The following output indicates that the user does not have permission
to assign the processor:
psrset: cannot assign processor 4: Not owner
The following output indicates that the specified processor is not on-
line, or the specified processor does not exist.
psrset: cannot assign processor 8: Invalid argument
The following output indicates that an LWP in the specified process is
bound to a processor and cannot be bound to a processor set that does
not include that processor:
psrset: cannot bind pid 67: Device busy
The following output indicates that the specified processor could not
be added to the processor set. This can be due to bound LWPs on that
processor, or because that processor cannot be combined in the same
processor set with other processors in that set, or because the proces‐
sor is the last one in its current processor set:
psrset: cannot assign processor 7: Device busy
The following output indicates that the specified processor set does
not exist:
psrset: cannot execute in processor set 8: Invalid argument
The following output indicates that the maximum number of processor
sets allowed in the system is already active:
psrset: cannot create processor set: Not enough space
The following output indicates that the pools facility is active.
psrset: cannot assign processor 7: Operation not supported
psrset: cannot bind pid 31: Operation not supported
psrset: cannot bind pid 31: Operation not supported
psrset: could not create processor set: Operation not supported
psrset: could not remove processor set 1: Operation not supported
psrset: cannot exec in processor set 1: Operation not supported
psrset: cannot remove processor 7: Operation not supported
psrset: cannot unbind pid 31: Operation not supported
