Would I gain any benefit by using Solaris Processor Sets combined with VirtualBox SMP?
For example, if my guest is SMP with 4 cpus, and I ask Solaris to use a 4 processors set reserved for this guest process, would I see the difference?
Will VirtualBox actually use the reserved 4 cpus in the guest OS as would on a native system?

Re: Processor Sets and VirtualBox SMP
Hi,
I think, if you have more cpu and want use for the Guest every time dedicated cpu's, then you could create on a Solaris host a CPU pool (pooladm, poolcfg)
After you could make a project (projadd) for this reason and run the VBox machine in this project (newtask -p)...
In this case the virtualbox would use the cpu set you declared, you could check it with poolstat. if you work in the guest, you would see load on the dedicated cpu pool.
