My questions are:
1. Application running in solaris 9 container generating core files. what to do???
2. My prstat -Z for zone shows almost 95% percent cpu usage. what to do???
3. Kindly can share how to move solaris 9 into solaris 10 containers ??

Answer 1

Based on the new questions for the same post you wrote in the other communities, some posts are removed as duplicate, here is the answer :
For the point #3, please look on table 17-1 in the following URL :
Zone Components - System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones
You can also customize your container /etc/system file but it cannot exceeds the global zone and the zone configuration value.
For the other point, #2, this can be complicated without a complete image of what the complete system do.
Try fist to check if you have not a busy process in your zone, then you can check if a bottleneck exists in the I/O side. You use maybe wrong parameters, a wrong configuration or your system configuration is insufficient in term of resources.
What I can see in the outputs that you provided is that the S9 zone uses the half of the swap space. This can impact your zone performance and I/O activity, and can have in this case a side effect on some processes. Check why your zone uses the swap and how you can remedy this.
