How to add a second nic card to non global zone

hi every one
i have a issue like
my non global zone has hme0 as the nic card
i want to add a secondary nic card like pcn0 to the non global zone . how can i add to the nonglobal zone so that both the nic cards should exist in the nonglobal zone
please tell me the command and procedure for that
thanks in advance ....

If your non-global zone is a shared IP zone, then you can add like
zonecfg -z <zonename>
add net
set physical=pnc0
set address=<IP Address>
end
verify
commit
exit
If your non-global zone is an exclusive IP zone, then remember that the interface pnc0 you are adding will be in control of non-global zone exclusively.
Steps to add it are same as above.

How to install a SUN cluster in a non-global zone?

How do I install a SUN cluster in a non-global zone? If it is the same as installing SUN Cluster in the global zone, then how do I access the cdrom from a non-global zone to the global zone?
Please point me to some docs or urls if there are any. Thanks in advance!

You don't really install the cluster software on zones. You have to set up a zone cluster once you have configured the Global Zone cluster (or in other words, clustered the physical systems + OS).

How to retrieve # on-line procs in a non-global zone with resource pool

Is there any way to retrieve the #of on line processors of the machine running in a non global zone with resource pool ?
sysconf does not return this value. In fact this is an excerpt of the man:
"If the caller is in a non-global zone and the pools facility is active, sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) and sysconf_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) return the number of processors in the processor set of the pool to which the zone is bound."

So, from within a local zone that's in a pool (i.e. in a pool with 8 CPUs) , you want to query how many CPUs really exist in the global zone (i.e. the global zone may actually have 16 CPUs)? I don't think that's possible: in fact for security reasons it's probably intentionally disabled.
A quick workaround would be a script/cron-job in the global zone that writes a small file in the filesystem of the local zone... then from within that zone you could read the CPU count.
I'm interested though: what are you trying to set up?

Can I add a second graphics card?

I have an older G$ Quicksilver with a 32MB Geforce2 MX display card. I want to add a second vga monitor in pan mode to display one program while the other monitor displays another program. Can I add a second GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card to accomplish this? Or do I need a more powerful card to replace the one I have?

You can't add a second AGP card (there is only one AGP slot on the motherboard). You could add a PCI graphics card, but you will get much better performance by replacing your current AGP card with one that supports two monitors. There are various options depending on whether you have a display using ADC, how much performance you want, and price.
If you need ADC and don't want to buy a DVI to ADC adapter, you can look for a used Macintosh NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX Twinview or NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium. These don't support Core Video, so will not be able to take advantage of some features and speed improvements in Tiger.
If you don't need ADC, or get a DVI to ADC adapter, you can get much better performance. The best (but expensive) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB. It has a DVI and a VGA port.
A lot cheaper, and a bit slower, is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Power Mac G5 edition, modified to work in a G4 Quicksilver. See:
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
With this card you will need an ADC to VGA adapter to run your second monitor. The other port is DVI.
Beware of the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition 256MB card. It will not work in some Quicksilver modes.

Second NIC Card Problem

Hi,
Need a little help. I have installed a second NIC card in a MPC 545 computer running Solaris 8 and created or updated all the necessary files (ie., hosts, hostname.prb1, netmask, etc.)
During the boot process (which looks similar to this) I am getting the following error:
Configuring IPv4 interfaces: iprb0; ipbr1
Ifconfig: plumb: iprb1:
bad file number
moving address from failed IPv4 interfaces: iprb1
(couldn't move, no alternative interfaces)
This error never shows up on every system. Its intermittent. I have approx 1800 systems to put NIC cards in and I never know when this error will surface. Any ideas on how to solve/fix this error?
Thanks
Ty

Can I add a Second Video card to my power mac g5

Hi all,
I have a Dual 2.5GHz PowerPC G5.
is it possible to add a second video card to this system. I want to have the possibility of having 3-4 displays.
if it can be done.. do I need a pci or pcix card and can someone recomend one that is available and of good quality..
thanks

Yes you can add a second card but you need to be sure if your machine is pci, pcix or pcie. The 2.5ghz G5 Quad is a pcie machine. I added a second 256mb card to it and now an running 3 24" and 1 17" monitors. Tom

Add device cdrom non global zone

Hi All ,
how to add device cdrom to non global zone ?
many thanks

Hi David,
Does your judgement that "you can definitely use a lofs mount to make /usr/local available inside the four zones" hold when /usr/local is an NFS mount in the global zone? James indicated that his /usr/local was an NFS mount, but I don't know if you targeted that specifically, or if you were just responding to the general case.
I have not had any success in performing lofs mounts of NFS mounts and making them visible in a local zone. I don't have any problems making a lofs mount of a NFS mount work in the global zone, I just can't NFS mount anything in the global zone and make it accessible in a local zone.
See http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=2181&tstart=0 for a full description of what I tried and what happened. The short result is that when I try, accessing that directory in the local zone gives "I/O error" for file operations and "Not owner" for df.
Thanks,
Dab

Add tape device to non-global zone

Hi,
I have a SCSI attached Ultrium tape device attached and configured against the global zone.
The /dev/rmt/0* definitions in the global zone are links to ../../devices/pci@2*
I need to be able to use this tape device from the non-global zones.
To enable this, I have done the following:
zonecfg -z <zone name>
add device
set match=/dev/rmt/0
end
verify
commit
exit
I repeated the above for /dev/rmt/0m and /dev/rmt/0mn
Then I restarted the zone with the command:
zoneadm -z <zone name> reboot
After the reboot, I can see the device when using "mt -f /dev/rmt/0 status", but whenever I try to write a SAP brbackup to the new (initialised and not write protected) tape within the drive I get the following error:
BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C cd /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup && /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape
sh: /dev/rmt/0mn: cannot open
BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2012-04-04 08.21.41
BR0279E Return code from 'LANG=C cd /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup && /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.
BR0359E Restore of /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0 from /dev/rmt/0mn failed due to previous errors
Have I created the device incorrectly, or does anyone have any ideas what could be the reason the write fails?
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Just to bring you up to speed, I have now fixed the issue.
The resolution was all within the iniSID.sap file that the backup is using. I have changed a number of parameters within this file:
1.     tape_copy_cmd = dd (was cpio)
2.     rewind = "mt     -f $ rew; sleep 30" (was " mt -f $ rew")
3.     rewind_offline = "mt -f $ offline; sleep 30" (was "mt -f $ offline")
4.     tape_pos_cmd = "mt -f $ fsf $: sleep 30" (was "mt -f $ fsf $")
5.     tape_size = 500G (was 18000M)
After making those changes, the backup started from within DB13. I believe that the main culprit was the tape_copy_cmd, but the others were changed to allow the tape drive time to become online again after any query.

Non-Global Zones - how can I tell what the Global Zone is

Hi,
I have a host that I know is a non-global zone (ngz). I can ssh to the ngz as root or a non-privileged user.
But once there how do I know what the host name for the global zone is?
I could probably run a script from all global zones to report all running zones and so I'd know that way but I have a specific need to know from inside the ngz.
Thanks!

That's a built-in security feature; and I know of no way to circumvent this mechanism.
I had some hope that there was a way to 'see' at least the global-zone information from the zone. From the shell the 'zone' commands are available ..
:# zoneadm list -cv
ID NAME STATUS PATH
48 hostname_svn running / So it's at least aware that it is a zone, even if it can't tell me anything else about itself. I can still go the long way around to get the information for my need, thanks.
The global zone is the only thing that can see everything. The non-global zones can only see information specific to their zone.
This is by design and it really is a security mechanism. You don't want the zones running outside of their boundaries and information about the global zone (or any other zone) is outside the boundaries of a non-global zone.

How to enable GUI in a non global zone in solaris11?

How to enable graphical logon in a non global zone in solaris11, so the zone can be login by Xmanager? Thanks!

This guide will cover how to setup a basic VNC connection to a Solaris 11 machine. There is also an optional step to allow for persistent VNC connections.
Step 1
Configure GDM to include ‘[security] DisallowTCP=false’ and ‘[xdmcp] Enable=true’.
$ sudo gedit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# GDM configuration storage
[daemon]
[security]
DisallowTCP=false
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
[greeter]
[chooser]
[debug]
Step 2
Configure X-Server to accept remote connections.
# svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> setprop options/tcp_listen = boolean: true
svc:/application/x11/x11-server> end
Step 3
Configure the VNC service (you could change the ‘-geometry 1280×720′ to whatever resolution you would like).
# svccfg -s xvnc-inetd
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/bin/Xvnc -desktop sol11:0 -geometry 1024x768 -inetd -query localhost -once securitytypes=none"
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> setprop inetd/wait = boolean: true
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> end
** The line highlighted red is optional – only do this if you want your VNC connection to persist (as well as any potential security issues)
or
# svccfg -s xvnc-inetd
svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd> editprop
search for # setprop inetd_start/exec = astring: "/usr/bin/Xvnc
copy the line, uncomment the copy, makethe changes above, write the file out.
svcadm refresh xvnc-inetd
Step 4
Disable and the re-enable the GDM and VNC-inetd services for the changes to take effect.
$ su root
Password:
# svcadm disable gdm xvnc-inetd; svcadm enable gdm xvnc-inetd
If still in maintenance, reboot (I had to, don't know why).
Step 5
Point your favourite VNC client at your Solaris server and test if it accepts your VNC connection – you should be presented with a Username/Password login screen.
If you performed the optional step to make your connections persist – close your favourite VNC client and then reconnect – if you remained logged in you have a persistent connections.
Greg on said:
After a fresh text install of Solaris-11 (11/11) both xvnc-inetd and gdm are not present. After installing them (# pkg install xvnc-inetd gdm) I can’t get gdm to start:
# svcadm enable gdm
# svcs gdm
offline 10:24:03 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
Any thoughts?
Ron on said:
You are missing some X packages. Do the following:
pkg install slim_install           # installs 400+ packages
svcadm enable gdm && exit      # gdm now works
pkg uninstall slim_install           # uninstalls the installer package only

How to know global zone in case non global zone is hung

....I have nongloabazone1,nongloabazone1,nongloabazone2,nongloabazone3...
i am working on nongloabazone1 ..
suppose i am giving remote support ...
if my nongloabazone1 is hung ..i need to know the global zone on which this nongloabazone1 is installed and reboot from there ...if my nongloabazone1 is hung i cannot apply #arp -a and check it out by trial and error method and know the global zone....
in this case how can i reboot the nongloabazone1 .....i have the same question in case of Ldoms also..............
Thanks in Advance.......

Hi.
It's not clear what means "non global zone is hung".
In case it realy hangs you can't do anythins in this zone.
1) In case you have access to global zone. You can get list all zones running on this host:
zoneadm list -cv
For reboot local zone from global zone just need: zoneadm -z <zone_name> reboot
2) Zones not support live migration. So after zone started it can not change global zone.
Create script that put global zone name in file. When need - just read content of this file.
This file can be created from global zone when start (or create/move) local zone.
In case zone migration is not quickly operation, just create file (or database) for list what zone started on which host.
For LDOM it look wery same.
Regards.
