How to Use DTrace in a Non-global Zone

1. Use the zonecfg limitpriv property to add the dtrace_proc and dtrace_user privileges.

global# zonecfg -z my-zone

zonecfg:my-zone> set limitpriv="default,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user"

zonecfg:my-zone> exit

Note –

Depending on your requirements, you can add either privilege, or both privileges.

2. Boot the zone.

3. global# zoneadm -z my-zone boot

Log in to the zone.

global# zlogin my-zone

4. Run the DTrace program.

my-zone# dtrace -l

Note:

* Oracle Solaris DTrace is a comprehensive, advanced tracing tool for troubleshooting systemic

problems in real time.

* DTrace helps you understand a software system by enabling you to dynamically modify the

operating system kernel and user processes to record additional data that you specify at locations of

interest, called probes.
