How to add /usr/local to sparse-root zone ?

I had created sparse-root local zone. The installed some soft and realised that I would need /usr/locain the zone. But I have problem with adding it.
Original configuration of the zone:
bash-3.00# zonecfg -z z1
zonecfg:z1> info
zonepath: /zones/z1
autoboot: true
pool:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /lib
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /platform
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /sbin
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /usr
net:
address: x.x.x.x/y
physical: elxl0
zonecfg:z1>Current configuration:
bash-3.00# zonecfg -z z1
zonecfg:z1> info
zonepath: /zones/z1
autoboot: true
pool:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /lib
inherit-pkg-dir:

dir: /usr
fs:
dir: /usr/local
special: /zones/z1-local
raw not specified
type: lofs
options: [rw]
net:
address: x.x.x.x/y
physical: elxl0Now:
bash-3.00# zoneadm -z z1 boot
zoneadm: zone 'z1': Could not mkdir /zones/z1/root/usr/local.
zoneadm: zone 'z1': It is on a read-only file system in this local zone.
zoneadm: zone 'z1': Make sure /usr/local exists in the global zone.
zoneadm: zone 'z1': call to zoneadmd failedprzemol

The messages contains all you need:
zoneadm: zone 'z1': Make sure /usr/local exists in the global zone.Just do a "mkdir /usr/local" in global zone and your zone installation will work.
But: Unfortunately you will get into trouble, if you want to install some software packages into /usr/local later.
Installation of Software below an inherited filesystem like /usr is not supported and somewhat impossible. The fact that /usr/local is a mounted filesystem does not count here.
These type of problems are already discussed in this forum...

How do I add /usr/local/bin to path

Hi.
I have installed arch linux on a server.
It seems really very good - manged to install latest snort-inline easily...
However (and this is really a completely NOOB question)
- how do I add /usr/local/bin to the default (root) path ?
I have tried to add
PATH=/usr/local/bin
to /etc/enviornment
But it did not show up when using the - env command (after re-logging in)
I know that I could sym link to /usr/bin but i would like to know.
Any help would be good
Cheers

There's a place for all three of /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, and ~/bin --- even on Arch.
If you download package whizbang-1.2.3 from some non-Arch site, its installer will often by default try to install its files into the /usr/local hierarchy. When making a PKGBUILD, you want to tell it instead to install into $pkgdir/usr, so that when you install the resulting pkg file with pacman, it goes into the /usr hierarchy. That's what the wiki page is saying: pacman-managed stuff goes into the /usr hierarchy.
/usr/local/* is for files you want to install systemwide without making a PKGBUILD. Your own scripts are a great example. Also you might want to install some compiled files that way, if making a PKGBUILD isn't worth it or you don't have the time to write (*and maintain!*) one.
~/bin is for scripts (could be compiled files too) that you want to only be available to that specific user.

SAP Install on Solaris 10 Sparse Root Zone ../usr/sap

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone is running SAP on Solaris 10, SAP EHP4 ECC 6.0 Oracle DB version 10. App and Db in a sparse root zone.
When we initially created our SAP install the Directories containing <SID> and trans_<SID> was give to us as "/usr/sap"
Since this is a sparse root zone, the /usr directory is read only. To accommodate SAP, a directory was created in the global zone for each of the containers ( we have ECC, PI, BW etc..) and then mounted as a filesystem in each container.   /usr/sap exists in every container, and it was supposed to be nothing more than a mount point for the <SID> and trans_<SID> NFS mounts. This /usr/sap directory exists on the global zone of our M5000 and the additional files and folders are eating up OS space.
This creates me with two problems.
1. WHen I take a snapshot, I can't recover the zone in a automatic fashion because the local zone can not see the global /usr directory, so I have to recover that folder/file manually.
2. I don't know exactly, but files are being created in the usr/sap directory that is causing internal drives to grow quickly.
To resolve our issues it was determined that the best course of action is to remove the connection to the global zone by creating a /sap directory in each container and linking it as /usr/sap. The /sap directory will be an NFS/FC mount point and that will fix the issue of disk space usage and backup recovery.
Does anyone have another way to solve this problem or any suggestions that we should do something different. ?

I use sparse zones on Solaris with ZFS.
I delegate filesystems to the zone.

How to add more disk space into /   root file system

Hi All,
Linux 2.6.18-128
can anyone please let us know how to add more disk space into "/" root file system.

Simple stats. Buying 2 lottery tickets instead of one, gives you 2 chances to win the lottery prize. Not 1. Even though the odds of winning per ticket remains unchanged.
2 disks buy you 2 tickets in The-Drive-Failure lottery.
Back in the 90's, BT (British Telecom) had a 80+ node OPS cluster build with Pyramid MPP hardware. They had a dedicated store of scsi disks for replacing failed disks - as there were disk failure fairly often due to the number of disks. (a Pryamid MPP chassis looked like a Xmas tree with all the scsi drive LEDs, and BT had several)
In my experience - one should rather expect a drive failure sooner, than later. And have some kind of contingency plan in place to recover from the failure.
The use of symbolic links instead of striping the filesystem protects from the complete loss of the enchilada if a volume member fails, but it does not reduce the risk of loosing data.
I would rather buy a single ticket for the drive failure lottery for a root drive, than 2 tickets in this case. And using symbolic links to "offload" non-critical files to the 2nd drive means that its lottery ticket prize is not a non-bootable server due to a toasted root drive.

Using a interface in a sparse-root zone on a different subnet

Hello,
is it possible to use interface ce0 for the global zone and configure interface ce1 for the non-global zone, but the interfaces are on a different subnet?
ce0 ... 10.5.5.18 / global zone
ce1 ... 192.168.5.18 / non-global zone
using Solaris 5.10 Generic_125100-10
I configured ce0 in the global zone (of course)
and I plumbed ce1 also in the global zone - but configured ce1 in the zones definition
zonecfg:oem> add net
zonecfg:oem:net> set physical=ce1
zonecfg:oem:net> set address=192.168.5.18The zone boots without any problems and it looks like this:
[global zone]
# ifconfig -a

so the system shows
# dladm show-link

ce1             type: legacy    mtu: 1500       device: ce1I get weird results even if I ping between the zones, I get "ICMP Destination unreachable"
Can this be solved with a full-root zone ...?

Sparse Root Zone using loopback refuses to shutdown

New to zones, so been following along with the System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Solaris Zones doc from Sun (#817-1592). Everything seems ok with a plain jane zone, but I've run into trouble trying to use the loopback method to mount some other filesystems.
The zone in question refuses to shut down no matter what method I use, and seemingly points to an RPC issue.
using zlogin from the global zone, I get this, and it just hangs:
# zlogin oracle_ods01 shutdown -i 0

I guess I"m jus tnot sure if I should be looking at something I need to do in the global zone, or if I need to do something in the sparse root zone.
Any insights appreciated, as I'm not sure that I didn't miss something along the way!

I take that back - my other test zone also seems to be giving me issues. I initally issues a zone halt to shut it down, which seems to work for all zones. But is that recommended?

Whole root or sparse root zones and patching

Hi all,
A while back, I did some cluster patching tests on a system with only sparse root zones, and one with whole root zones...and I seem to recall that the patch time was about equal which surprised me. I had thought the sparse root model mainly is patching the global zone, and even though patchadd may need to run through the sparse NGZ's...that it isn't doing much other than updating /var/sadm info in the NGZ's.
Has anyone seen this to be true or if there are major patching improvements using a "sparse" root NGZ model over a "whole" root model?
thanks much.

My testing showed the same results and I was a bit surprised as well. As I dug into it further my understanding was that the majority of the patch application time goes into figuring out what to patch, not actually copying files around. That work must be done for the sparse zones in the same way as for the full root zones, we just save the few milliseconds of actually backing up and replacing the file.
I suspect there is a large amount of slack that could be optimized in the patching process (both with and without zones), but I don't understand it nearly well enough to say that with any authority.

How to add a locally stored video file to a presentation

Hi all ,
I want to add a locally stored video file to a presentation .What is the url that i need to use..
Ur help is much appreciated
Thanks

The recommended procedure is to create the presentation on the DMM (upload the video to the DMM) then create a deployment package using the presentation created on the DMM. Once you deploy it to the DMP, the DMM will FTP the video along with presentation files to the DMP which will contain the links to play the video that will be stored locally on the DMP.
You may want to review the following thread to see how to trigger the local presentation to play and how to update it later:

How to add a local serial printer with vbscript

For a new application that we are rolling out I need to add several printers to about 100 Windows XP workstations. Two of them are network printers and fairly easy to add using vbscript. The one I am having problems with is a locally attached serial printer. I am not really sure where to start for creating the port. I need it to use COM1 (4800, 8, none, 1) with the Generic / Text Only driver. Any ideas how to get started on this?

How to add a custom web apps root page?

I saw in Jan 2013 System Update the following:
"Render a custom page when accessing the root URL of a Web App. For example, if you have a “blog” Web App, the items can be made accessible at /blog/my-blog-post, and you’ll have the ability to customize the /blog page"
Could someone point me in the correct direction for instructions on how to make use of this feature.
Couldn't appear to find a link from the Blog release notes to anything, and also tried trawling through support and forums for a suitable post.
Closest I found was one about using sub-folders for web app items.
I've tried adding a page in website admin, with the same URL as the web app, but it simply throws an error as it clashes with Web App url.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike.
Because a folder can have a index.html Web apps in the past you could not access that ability. You had to make a page and you could not SEO call it the same as your web app.
SO
Your web app is called Blog.
You can now make a folder in your root called Blog.
In that folder you can create a page and give it a url of index.html
Now when you access the a web app directly - www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp or www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp/index/html you will access that index page.
You can also put other pages under that folder if you want too.

How to add a local printer on Solaris 10

Well, i really a neuvy in SOlaris 10, i'm just recently intalled, i was tring to install my printer and looks like it isn't too much trouble, but when i tried to print o sorpriese, i couldm't
Can anyone help me...
The thing is that i have a suspicious, may be the port, because i don't know which one could be, because my pronter is conected to the USB port... so i don�t know where it could be the direccion of it... or if it is installed...

Thank you Zettabyte!!
Folks, network printers should NOT BE configured like this:
lpadmin -p somequeue -s someprinter
that creates a remote style queue and puts all the I/O and processing capability on the basic LPD listener present on network printer interfaces. This will cause problems down the road, not to mention that you cannot control access, get any logging, filter content, or control banner pages.
Network printers should use any software (or PPD file) supplied by the vendor over the basic lpadmin/netstandard config.
You can install CUPS, but Oracle won't support it until it's part of the OS (S11, apparently).
The "System Administration Guide: Solaris Printing" is highly recommended for those administering printers on Solaris.

Sparse Root Zone Mount Points

In my zone xml files I have configured filesystems to be mounted in the non global zones.
The filesystems exists on separate SAN storage.
filesystem special=/dev/dsk/controllerdisknumber raw=/dev/dsk/controllerdisknumber directory=/somemountpoint
The problem we are experiencing is that occasionally our path to the SAN goes down. Yes these are multipathed but we still experience the outage.
What happens is that the filesystems that are mounted in the NGZ's go away. So the zone is left running
but the mountpoints are not mounted any longer.
When the path to the SAN comes back, the global zone sees that the devices are back, but the NGZ still
does not mount their filesystems as specified in their specific xml.
The only way for the mount points to come back is to 1) reboot the zone or 2) manually mount the filesystems from the global zone, specifying that they be mounted in the NGZ.
Is this working as it should? Should the zone not attempt to remount its filesystems if they are lost?
Instead of specifying a filesystem in the zoneconfig, should we just be giving the devices to the zone and then use the NGZ /etc/vfstab to mount ?
Thank you for the help.

I've seen this issue also, but not aware of a good fix.
One possibility that comes to mind but I havent actually tested is to do a NFS export from the global zone and automount it in the local zone.
The automounter shoud deal with mountpoint reliability issues OK.
Its kind of ugly and isnt likely to be as efficient as a loopback mount though.

All fo the above appear to echo properly. No options=() within any PKGBUILD files I am testing. How to strip '/usr/local/gtk-doc/html' out of builds using makepkg.conf (would rather not add an 'rm' statement to each and every PKGBUILD)?

Correct. This is my /etc/makepkg-git.conf (makepkg.conf backed up and removed from /etc):

Whole Root / Sparse Root fusion // lofs problem

Hello everybody!
Actually i am getting probz with installations of software in sparse-root zones.
Especially caused by the lofs-techniques regarding /usr , /usr/bin and /usr/local, required for linking back the executables to the home folders of users in Sparse-Root zone.
are there any workarounds to obtain a functional setup for this cases or override the lofs-problem for linkage .
Read only after install to /usr/bin is o.k. but for Software install in Sparse Root it`s needed.
Encountered this problems with Oracle and DirX installs.
Whole-root zone obligation and the inherit disk usage would be unacceptable.
Would be running out of disk space.
Thanks for Replies !

Is there any option setable to temporarily override the "ro" lofs for an inherited-pkg-dir?
-fs-special?
The Application i want to install is DIRX for LDAP management.
It links the executable from /usr/bin to /export/home/ldap before finising the Installation.
The Installation is cacelled by the installer if the links cant be set.
After install there is no problem with "ro" access to the executable..
If i had to do all zones as whole-root zones i would use Xen on an Intel or amd based machine.
Sparse-root zone model is posible with Xen, but implies a lot of work.
The decision to solaris was due to low performance of Linux Kernels on Sparc compared with a native Solaris, the hardware of a Fire 880 was built for.
Any HowTo`s to a Workaround, e.g. a comand string ?( 4meNxDummy? ;) )

Add new locale

Hello,
how to add new locale to the list in BI Dashboards -> Settings> My Account -> Locale (location)

German spell checker is currently on the product roadmap and will be available out-of-the-box in the product itself - though there are no fixed timelines as of now.
Can you please file a request via Enterprise support channel so that this feature gets a higher priority?
BTW the application itself works fine in English, French , German & Japanese languages - if you change the browser locale to German then the entire UI would appear in German language.
