Why there are no /dev/mem, /dev/kmem on solaris10 non-global zones?

807559Mar 11 2009 — edited Mar 19 2009

Hi All,

We have an application on SOLARIS10 that tries to open '/dev/kmem' using 'kvm_open' system call and after that it reads certain kernel virtual memory parameter values by using 'kvm_nlist' system call.

In solaris 10 non-global zones these calls are failing as /dev/kmem cannot be found. Is there any other way to access the kmem or kernel memory parameters on non-global zones?

What are the corresponding files for /dev/mem, /dev/kmem on non-global zones? We are interpreting /dev/mem and /dev/kmem files to get status and statistical information of the system on solaris.

This is urgent....Please help....

Thanks
