Assigning HBA to a zone

I have 2 zones on an s10 host which also has 2 FC HBA devices. The HBAs are connected to a SAN.
I tried to add the HBA device name which is in the form /devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@3,1/fp@0,0:devctl to the zonecfg as follows -
global# luxadm -e port
/devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl CONNECTED
/devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@3,1/fp@0,0:devctl
CONNECTED
# zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> add device
zonecfg:zone1:device> set match=/devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@3,1/fp@0,0:devctl
zonecfg:zone1:device> end
zonecfg:zone1> add device
zonecfg:zone1:device> set match=/devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0:devctl
When I rebooted the zone, I get the following error on the zone console -
# luxadm -e port
Error: Could not retrieve device tree snapshot. - socal.
Error: Could not retrieve device tree snapshot. - fp.
Error: Could not retrieve device tree snapshot. - ifp.
The global zone can still see the devices as 'Connected'. Does anyone know how to add HBA devices to s10 zones?
Thanks,
snygt

can you list the device as seen from inside your zone?
I couldn't find any documentation prohibiting the use of /devices/ but as this interface is declared as private (man -s 7FS devfs)I would use /dev/ instead.
An other option is of course to mount the filesystem from the globalzone.

Assigning IP addresses to zones

I am trying to configure zones on a x86 system installed with Solaris 11.2.
I will install two branded zones and one kernel zone.
All the three non-global zones would have their own IP address and would each be assigned an entire disk dedicated to that zone.
I am not sure how to set the IP address for this.
Currently, I have set the following:
# zonecfg -z calypso02-x42-z01
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> create
create: Using system default template 'SYSdefault'
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> set zonepath=/zones/calypso02-x42-z01
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> add dedicated-cpu
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:dedicated-cpu> set ncpus=14
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:dedicated-cpu> end
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> add capped-memory
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:capped-memory> set physical=32g
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:capped-memory> end
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01> add device
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:device> set match=/dev/*dsk/c1t0d0*
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:device> set allow-partition=true
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01:device> end
zonecfg:calypso02-x42-z01>
I am not clear on whether I need to add anet/net and the value of set 'ip-type'
Thanks.

I cannot tell you how to configure your network interface for the zone as it depends on the way you plan to manage it.
I suggest you start by reading IP Networking in Oracle Solaris Zones - Resource Management, Oracle Solaris Zones, and Oracle Solaris 10 Zones Developer…
and Oracle Solaris 11.1 Administration: Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle Solaris 10 Zones, and Resource Management.
to clearly understand the differences between shared IP and exclusive IP types and net/anet differences for exclusive IP.

Multiple VNICs in Solaris 11 Zone

Is there a best way to create a vnic within a solaris 11 zone on top of the zone's interface. I was able to create a vnic from the ipmp interface but this
may not be a proper way.
Does multiple vnics within a zone need to be created outside the zone first? This is not using a vsw because it's not a private network.

There are a couple of options:
1. If 'anet' resource type is specified in zonecfg(1M) for creating the VNIC,
add another anet for the zone. This will create a second VNIC when the zone is rebooted.
2. If 'dladm set-linkprop -p zone=... <vnic-link-name>' is used for assigning the
VNIC to the zone, create a second VNIC and assign it to the zone the same way.

Routing in solaris zones

Lets see the hypothetical situation. I have Solaris 10 with 3 zones ( + global).
I have 4 network interfaces. Every zone has it's own interface.
Now from what i've learnt all network configuration must be done in global zone. It means that every single network interface must have an adress assigned in the global zone even if i only intend to use it in sub zone. Also all routes must be added in global zone (if i try to add anything in sub zone i am disallowed with information "operation not permitted"). Every interface needs its own default gateway, so i have 3 default gws in global zone. What more every sub zone inherits all default gws, which is very confusing to the network traffic. I want a situation, where every zone inherits only part of routing which is intented for that very zone. How can i achieve that if i have to do all routing in global zone and after adding any route it appears automatically in sub zones?

From my understandig Solaris 11 is going to offer some features you're requesting right now. For now you can take a look a defining routes yourself to match the behavior you want, or take a look at zebra if you have routing protocols available on your network. But I have to urge you to consult your networkadministrator before you continue in both case so you don't take down your system or the network.

How can 2 non-global zones share a singe ethernet?

This may be a very basic question. I am new the this board and trying to learn more about the Solaris Zone.
I am trying to find out whether sharing an ethernet card between two non-global zones is possible.
Where can I get additional infor on this topic?
Thanks,

I just found the answer to my question. Thanks, Can you post a link to where you found the answer?
Birdman >>I'm not exactly sure what he found, but you might try this link, to the zones documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-1592/6mhahuos1?a=view#z.admin.ov-12
The answer to the question is "yes" you can do this, and in fact it is somewhat trivial. We've long had a feature in Solaris called "logical network interfaces". This allows multiple logical interfaces to be defined atop a single physical one. Zones uses this feature and creates logical interfaces atop a single virtual interface. You can even have multiple network interfaces assigned to the same zone, without any problem.

Ipv6 address setup in local zone

I'm having problems with a local zone that needs a defined IPv6 address. I've had a number of issues -- now i'm down to routing.
I've set up a manual address on a physical interface, and assigned it to a zone by setting it from the global zone:
ifconfig bge3 inet6 addif 2001:6b0:8:1::54/64 zone g.ns.se upThe zone "gets" the interface but there are no default routes visible in the local zone. I can ping the interface from the local LAN connected to bge3, but not beyond. snoop in the global zone sees the packets.
The global zone can configure ipv6 by RA and gets its routing information all right.
Manually adding a default route from the global zone does not help.
Clues?

My experience with a default route ipv6 visibility within a local zone is the same.
One way to get an ipv6 default route info into the local zone is to let the global zone in.ndpd daemon do the ipv6 autoconfig including a default route discovery (ipv6 RA you've mentioned) and manully configure/add a new unique link-local FE80::/10 address within the local zone (besides the global ipv6 address you've already set up). At that point default route makes it into the local zone table and ipv6 connectivity happens. Both ipv6 interfaces - a global zone with ndpd and also a local zone one - have to stay within the same LAN.
I see this as a temporary workaround as this way lacks autoconfig ability (remember ipv6 ?) and currently offers less compared to ipv4 setup options.

Solaris 11 zone - access to npiv vHBA

We need to have full control over a FC HBA in a zone, it should be possible to display the WWN of the NPIV port and mount storage presented to the HBA. We created the npiv ports, but we didn't find a way to pass the control of the port to a solaris 11 zone.
Is there a way to have virtual FC HBA's in a zone?

Hi
you don't have to use the same network adress for your global and a local zone. You have to use another adress in your lokal zone or delete the beg2 interface in your global zone. That's all.

Are volume manager commands available inside non-global zones

My application requires usage of volume manager commands to create new filesystem, expand an existing file system inside the non-global zone. Is this supported?
Or the only option is to create filesystem in global zone and assign to non-global zones?

ArunZone wrote:

Is this supported?No. There's no zone knowledege with SVM, so it must be restricted to the global zone only. If you could use ZFS instead, you could delegate a filesystem to a zone and create/modify within the zone.
Or the only option is to create filesystem in global zone and assign to non-global zones?If you must use SVM, yes.

Muse + BC, adding a sign up form in a secure zone, and a individual my account secured page

Hello,
I having a lot of trouble in the following task I need to do in Adobe Muse and integrate in Business Catalyst.
1) I need to create a contact form page (with username and login)
2) I need that this contact form integrates with BC to store my subscribers infos
3) Then, I need to create a login and username page that when my client logs in, the info that he previously filled in appears to him (as a My Account page).
4) Of course, this My account page must a in a secure zone area, but each client should have his own personal My account page.
Is this possible? I think it is. (Muse Theme site is an example)
Thanks you for the help!!
Carlos

Hi Carlos
Answering the questions :
1) Publish the site to BC and then create a form on BC end , assign to a secure zone ( which you will have to create ).
2) You can register users in your site using same form.
3) Use login form in page where user can login , landing page for secure zone can be made as web app page. Web app needs to be created for customer accounts and in layout you can use different tags to show cases information which user has submitted etc.
4) Web app is the way out.

Resource Requirement for a global zone

Hi All,
We are going to deploy Solaris container in our environment. However, we hope know if there any guideline for the resource requirement for setup the global zone. In other words, what are the min cpu / memory should be set assigned to the global zone?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

You don't need to worry about defending the global zone. The design of the pool_default pool includes safeguards that prevent starvation by other pools. The most obvious is the zone strategy itself; there's no way to allocate all the physical memory to a zone before the kernel itself has pinned down what it needs.
I think it would make better sense to allocate some (large) percentage of memory to the Oracle container and adjust as needed, rather than try and lock every bit of it. Maybe 14 GB and see how that works. I can think of any number of annoyances you might encounter by trying to lock down more memory than is actually available.

Bulk delete Secure Zones subscribers

Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to bulk delete Secure Zone subscribers rather than clicking "delete" for each in the list?
My client needs to delete all and import a new set of Secure Zone subscribers each year. We don't necessarily want to remove them as customers in the CRM, just remove their access to the Secure Zone in bulk.
Thanks
Rob

Hello,
That is possible. On the literature page, go to Actions > Make Media Download Secure, and assign all the Secure Zones targeted.
Regarding the payment option, the monthly payment is setup on the membership cost amount field, when setting up the secure zone, but when the first invoice is generated, you can access it in the admin interface and modify its value.
Also, you can consider using products instead of literature items, making them downloadable and assigning 2 prices, standard and wholesaler. At that point you just make sure that subscribers of the 2nd secure zone are made wholesalers so that they access the smaller price.

Urgent please help - brocade zoning and changing WWN

Hi all, we have had an issue with one of the devices on our SAN network, this means chaning the device, the engineer said we will need to change the name of the World wide name on the brocade to match. My question is, what is the WWN for? and do you assign it to one port, or a number of ports,and does a device that wants to talk to another device need to have the same WWN?
please help
cheers
Carl

Hi Carl,
I'm presuming that you are talking about having either a whole server replaced or you replaced a HBA (host bus adapter (fibre channel card in a server)).
A WWN (World Wide Number) is a unique identifier in the fibre channel space much like a MAC address. WWN's are used for security purposes generally to prevent/allow devices from seeing each other.
In that case, you will need to reconfigure any zones that were configured for that host/hba. A zone is a method of preventing devices from seeing each other on a fibre channel SAN (its kinda like an ACL).
You will most likely have to make some changes on any disk arrays because they generally would be configured to only allow certain hosts or HBA's to see certain LUN (Logical Unit (a slab of disk)). This is called LUN masking or sometimes called LUN security.

Raid Volumes Randomly Dismounting

Okay first a warning .. this is going to be a long post!
Overview: When my raid is connected through my Fibre Channel Switch it randomly dismounts.
Specifics:
Xserve G5 (10.4.7) with the LSI Dual-Channel 2GB Fibre Channel PCI-X HBA & Fibre Channel Utility 2.0
Xserve RAID - Each side with its own Raid 5 , hot spare - no masking & latest firmware
Exabyte Magnum 224 FC
Qlogic Sanbox 5200 Series (12 port) - Latest Firmware (configured with two zones (port not WWN) ; Zone 1: Port 1 HBA, Both Xraid | Zone 2: Port 0 HBA, Exabyte
Background : This used to ALL work! Recently we began to experience drastic slow downs when writing to the raid and common sense not working free space, which was the problem, was the last thing I checked. Before that though I tried swapping cables, replacing the raid controller, redoing zoning, straight connect - Obviously none of this was the issue. *note here: at this point I am using an identical Fibre Channel Card in my Xserve from my G4 - a careless maneuver broke the Apple installed card whilst it was laying on a table.*
When I got things working (made room on the volume) I happened to be in a configuration the circumvented the switch.. raid directly into the host and things , as said, worked fine. The next night I took the systems down to put everything on the switch again to allow a back-up to be ran. Now is when the current behavior begins. Randomly and without recognizable patterns both raid volumes would dismount from the host. Checking Raid Admin shows the volumes as being in order and all lights are green.
This time I fear my switch has gone and after time spent with Qlogic (and zilliions of different configurations) a new switch is sent out in the mean time back to a straight connection and things are working fine. New switch arrives, is configured, and immediately problem persists. Qlogic/Apple suggest the midplane on the raid is bad (even though it works straight through). I happen to have a brand new in box XRAID (with current firmware) so I set that up put in the drives from the old raid and the problem persists again when plugged into the switch. Direct to host things work fine.
So I read some documentation on Apple and Fibre channel and made a few changes to HBA ports and Switch Port Settings and came to the following scenario... Volumes stayed mounted through an entire work day, but after a brief time into a backup the volumes unmounted.
Here is some more specific info about my exact setup as it last failed...
ZONE 1 (zoned by port not WWN)
Switch Ports 0, 1, 2
HBA Port 1 into Switch Port 0
Raid into Switch Ports 1, 2
All ports are identifying themselves to switch as switch topology
HBA port configured as Topology: Point-to-Point, Speed: 2Gb/s
SW Port 0 configed as State: Online, Speed: auto, Type: Detect, I/O Stream Guard: Enable, Device Scan: Disable
SW Port 1, 2 configed as State: Online, Speed: auto, Type: Detect, I/O Stream Guard: Auto, Device Scan: Enable
ZONE 2 (zoned by port not WWN)
Switch Ports 8, 9
HBA Port 0 into Switch Port 9
Exabyte into Switch Port 8
Port 8 identifying as Loop topology, 9 as switch
HBA port configured as Topology: Auto, Speed: Auto
SW Port 8 configed as State: Online, Speed: auto, Type: Detect, I/O Stream Guard: Auto, Device Scan: Enable
SW Port 9 configed as State: Online, Speed: auto, Type: Detect, I/O Stream Guard: Enable, Device Scan: Disable
I realize that some of these settings, particularly those on the HBA are different between ports, but we have tried virtually every combination (I think)
Around the time of the backup job system.log on the host has these entries:
Mar 7 17:55:41 files kernel[0]: FusionMPT: Notification = 5 (External Bus Reset) for SCSI Domain = 3
Mar 7 17:55:41 files kernel[0]: FusionMPT: External Bus Reset for SCSI Domain = 3

And that folks is it.. I'm up for any and all suggestions, questions, comments etc.. I'm absolutely desperate here!
Please, please does anyone have any ideas what's going on here.
Thanks,

Hi Roger, thanks for the reply.
Throughout the battles I did try cables that were not in the scenario to no avail so I don't think it's a cablling issue though I suppose it still could be.
Well into the backup was last night's failure point.. days previous, when through the switch, it had failed at periodic points throughout the day. I could not tie those periods to greater than normal I/O demand though.
As for cooling the components are kept in a well circulated room that is kept 24x7 at 62 degrees with an alarm on the cooling unit so I am about as certain as can be that cooling is not a factor.
