HP Openview in a local zone?

Was wondering if anyone had any success installing the HP openview agent inside a local zone?

Version 7.29 Appears to work great in the GLOBAL, but (in my environment) the "dced" executable seg-faults if launched in a local zone.

Thanks,
-- MikeE

We have been able to install Openview ina local zone just with some changes.
These little changes are just allow from global zone every library needed when you start Openview agent.
But that's not enough to work because when you are able to start Openview on the local zone it reports exactly the same information that global zone reports.
In fact looks like that OVO Agent is not able to use params (each zone name) to create independent servers traces, and it works just a single system.
It's a good way to discover that HP will need to create a new Openview agent to install on the global zone and create different instances for each zone. Otherwise they will need that Sun create a hole between global and local zone.

How I can enable audit in NG zone, I want to enable audit logs with syslog service. as enabled and configured on Global Zone.

I'm not sure why Ur looking for /etc/system in zones..
now in soalris 10u10 /soalrs 11..you can configure the kernel parameters as application/user specific
you can use projadd command to add the resources like shared memory
if you want add the parameters as global you can use
zonecfg
you can refer this doc what parameters u can add to zone with zonecfg
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/817-1592/z.config.ov-1/index.html
zone.cpu-shares (preferred: cpu-shares)

How to create raw partition in a local zone?

I tried to search for an answer for my question, but I spent a week and still no luck.
What I am trying to do is to create raw partitions for Sybase in a local zone. I tried to add device and set match to the block and raw device.
However, when I tried to do "format", I got core dumped. When I did zpool create, I got permission denied. Any advice?
zonecfg:z001> info
zonename: z001
zonepath: /export/ZONE/z001
autoboot: true
pool:
limitpriv:
fs:
dir: /shared/tmp
special: /tmp
raw not specified
type: lofs
options: []
net:
address: 10.110.1.2
physical: e1000g1
device
match: /dev/rdsk/c6t60060160DF2413003E2F0C2DF945DC11d0
device
match: /dev/dsk/c6t60060160DF2413003E2F0C2DF945DC11d0

You can't manipulate pools directly in a non-global zone. I'm not sure if you can run 'format'. You can use at least a limited amount of globbing. You might want to put a '*' at the end of your matched device name.
You can hand off a raw partition via 'match' and put it under UFS control, or with recent versions of Solaris Express, you can delegate a portion of a ZFS filesystem to the zone.
See the ZFS administration guide:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/zfsadmin.pdf
Especially the section on using ZFS in a zone (page 171). Note the guide is for the most recent version of ZFS in OpenSolaris. Versions available in Solaris 10 may not have all the same features.

How do you create a local zone that's not "stripped down"?

Hi all,
I've been exploring Solaris 11 Express a bit more after work, and I can't figure out how to create a new local zone that doesn't have a minimized package set. The ISV guide mentions that new local zones default to "minimal system software":
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/o10-015-s11-isv-adoption-198348.pdf (page 6)
...but that I can specify additional packages with the "-e" flag during the zone install. I don't want to list dozens of supplemental packages by hand... there must be a way to make a new local zone that has an almost identical package loadout as a standard global zone. (i.e. ftp, smtp, telnet services exist in the global zone, but are not installed in a local zone).
Do I need to use ips commands to first make an image (of a global zone) then update my local zones to that image?
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks Russell, this sounds exactly like what I was looking for! I'm "zoneadm install"'ing a new zone right now to kick the tires. One note for everyone else:
pkg install -r slim_installI got an error that "-r" isn't a valid flag for pkg, but it seems to be working without it (i.e. "pkg install slim_install")

First boot of local zone - how to determine when sysidtool has finished

Hello,
we use a /etc/sysidcfg in order to do the solaris base configuration automatically. After the first boot of a local zone I recognized that some tools are started by solaris (sysidtool, etc.) which apply the settings mentioned in /etc/sysconfig.
Since we want to script some post-install set-ups I need to know, when the first boot including all "first-boot-scripts" has completely finished. Is it possible to query this information, maybe by calliing a special tool or by looking up some string within an logfile?
I would be grateful for any hints,
Thomas

I haven't checked, but I assume they have normal dependencies in the SMF tree so that other services don't start until they complete.
I would probably look at the milestone/multi-user-server service and see if it's online yet. If it is, they're probably done.

How to dynamically set max-rss size for a local zone?

Running solaris 10 05/08.
Following situation: Three local zones in a Veritas cluster. The zones
can fail over but normally not all three are on the same physical box.
I want to be able to restrict physical memory usage for the zones in
situations where certain combinations of them end up on the same
physical box. So, I need to be able to dynamically change memory
resources. I know how to do this with, for example locked memory:
prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory -r -v <mem> `pgrep -z <zone name>
init`
but i need to do this for physical memory and I can't see that there
is a zone resource for this? I thought this was added in 05/08?

Hi
You can do this by using rcapd from the global zone
- start rcapd from the global zone:
svcadm enable svc:/system/rcap:default
- set a physical memory caping value for each zone
rcapadm -z your_zone -m max_rss_value
- check the memory use for all the zone capped
rcapstat -gz
You can set the rss capping value in the zone configuration:
# zonecfg -z your_zone
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> add capped-memory
zonecfg:busi-app-prod:capped-memory> set physical=900m
zonecfg:busi-app-prod:capped-memory> end
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> verify
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> commit
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> exit
This will be take in account at the next reboot of this zone.
Have a also a look to rcapadm to tune rcapd
Bye
Fred

Solaris 10 local zone setup requirement/steps for am/ps 7.0 installation

Hi,
Is there any document available on solaris 10 local zone creation/requirement for am server/ portal server 7.0 install? Any help/pointer is appreciated.
Thanks,

I don't believe there is any specific documentation am/portal in a zone. And as far as I know there are no specific requirements either. I have successfully installed portal in a solaris zone.

Solaris 10, java, local zone and priority

Hi,
I have asked this on the Solaris 10/Zone forum 4 days ago but didn't
get any response. Maybe I get better luck here?
I have a jboss container running like a dog. It's running on a niceness
of 10 (by default - why?); renice fails with
$ renice -n 0 1635
renice: 1635:setpriority: Not owner
How do I fix that, and how can I get jboss to run with a niceness of
0 or 1 at startup?
I did manage to up the niceness manually from the global zone, but that's
not really an option once the system goes production. How/where do
I set java tasks to run with a sensible priority by default?
It appears that anything java (even within the global zone) runs on a
niceness of 20 (10 is what we see inside a local zone, the global will
report 20 in prstat).
Cheers

I removed this file,/usr/lib/libmlib/libmlib_sse.so.2, but I can't still use java desktop...
is there any other solution?

Solaris 10, local zone & vcs

Hi,
Anybody tried running vcs from within a solaris 10 sparse local zone?
We currently have two T2000' s each running Solaris 10 6/06. I've installed Veritas Foundation Suite 4.1 on each and configured vcs. The cluster is functioning with failover enabled & tested. (I have a test service group running consisting of a 'hello world' program sitting on a VRTS volume/diskgroup on a SAN). This is all running fine in the Global Zone.
As part of our requirement we want to be able to run vcs from within a local zone, hence my creation of a sparse zone. I would like full clustering functionality running from within a zone on one server with failover/switching to an equvialent zone on the the second server.
I have played with the 'zone' option when setting up service groups but not surprisingly this is for switching the whole zone. Not what I want to do.
Am I failing to grasp this whole sparse zone idea? or am I missing something obvious, trying something that cant be done? Any help, particularly from somebody else thats tried this would be appreciated.
Thansk in advance,
Mark

Hello,
I can't help you a lot, but i have found that there is a lot of things that a local zone can't do when it comes to "kernel" things. As of today i found that you do NFS from a zone, for example.
As your problem seems to be related to filesystem it is probable that you can't do it from a zone. Again, i'm not sure.

Install SMC Server 3.6 in Sol 10 local zone?

Is it possible to install and running SMC Server 3.6
in local zone with whole root (not sparse) steup?Right now the only part of SunMC that can run in a zone is the SunMC Agent. The Server can only be installed into the global zone. But it's a pretty good bet that you'll be able to do it with a future version of SunMC.

Local zones during global shutdown in Solaris 10

Hello,
I am trying to determine if issuing a shutdown command from the global zone, e.g. shutdown -g0 -i5 -y performs graceful shutdowns on any running local zones, or does it issue a halt to the local zones without running shutdown scripts in them. Searching the Solaris zones forum brings up some older discussions (pre 2010) where users reported a halt was done, but the expectation is this would be changed in later Solaris 10 patches or revisions. Has this ever been addressed? Is there a way to determine if a local zone has been halted or shutdown? What is the recommended way to perform a shutdown of a global zone, when local zones are running?
Thanks,

The global zone will run a "svcadm disable zones" for each zones and this corresponds to a "zoneadm shutdown" or "zoneadm halt". Both zoneadm command will use a "init 0" in each zone.
If you have a zone that requires a shutdown script to stopping for example a database gracefully, then you should run the shutdown inside each zone directly.

Network access from local zones on a Solaris 10 router

I'm kind of stuck at an interesting problem.
I have a Solaris 10u6 system which is itself a router between a number of networks.
It has several dozen routes to different networks via different next-hop gateways,
just one of which is a default route to the ISP to internet.
I thought of setting up local zones to securely run infrastructure services (BIND,
Squid, Mail relay) on this machine, with only a single dedicated public IP address
(from our delegated address space) per such zone. Zones use a shared-IP stack
on one of the machine's VLAN interfaces (the LAN part with public IP addresses).
The problem is - since this machine is the gateway for the subnet used for the
local zones, they don't inherit any default route. The one default we have to the
ISP is on another interface's subnet.
[root@ns8 /]# netstat -rn | grep default
[root@ns8 /]# netstat -rn | wc -l
50
On a side note, these zones do inherit dozens of other routes (50 above) with
next-hop routers not on the local zone's subnet - so these are also not accessible.
I think such useless routes should also be filtered away - as "mismatching" default
routes are.
Due to all this the zone has no networking outside its subnet/mask: it doesn't
even try to send anything, since there is not a single route with a matching next
hop router, i.e.
[root@ns8 /]# traceroute -nI 194.87.0.50
traceroute to 194.87.0.50 (194.87.0.50), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 xx.yy.zz.8 0.102 ms !H 0.032 ms !H 0.027 ms !H
To reiterate, this setup is different from that of the numerous replays of "How to
set up internet for zones with virtual IP addresses?"
That recipe suggests to add a fake router and maintain its ARP address to be
that of the real default gateway, and set up NAT to rewrite private IP addresses
to the global zone's public IP. While I've also used the recipe a number of times,
it does not seem feasible in this router's case - there are too many next-hop
routers (and learned with a dynamic routing protocol), not just one default-gw.
I can of course go back to running services in the global zone and binding them
to these dedicated public IP addresses via configuration files - and this works
since the global zone has access to any needed routers having IP addresses
in relevant subnets - but I hoped to secure the system a bit more and separate
routing from infrastructure tasks...
So the question is: how can I set up networking for local zones in this case
when they are running on a router? Is it possible?
Thanks,
//Jim

You can set the Airport Extreme in "Bridge" mode, and then it will just extend the existing subnet.

Mount cdrom in a local zone

Hello,
how can I mount a cdrom in a local zone. It works
fine in the global zone, but in a local zone I got
an error no device
Thanks
Mark

To access the cdrom in a local zone you woul use zonecfg from the Global Zone
"myzone" being the name of our zone..
zonecfg -z myzone
zonecfg:myzone>add fs
zonecfg:myzone:fs>set dir=/cdrom
zonecfg:myzone:fs>set special=/cdrom

Sun Live Upgrade with local zones Solaris 10

I have M800 server running global root (/) fs on local disk and running 6 local zones on another local disk. I am running solaris 5.10 8/07.
I used live upgrade to patch the system and created new BE (lucreate). Both root fs are mirror as RAID-1.
When I ran lucreate, it copies all 6 local zones root fs to the global root fs and failed no enogh space.
What is the best procedure to use lu with local zones.
Note: I used lu with global zone only, and worked without any problem.
regards,

I have been trying to use luupgrade for Solaris10 on Sparc, 05/09 -> 10/09.
lucreate is successful, but luactivate directs me to install 'the rest of the packages' in order to make the BE stable enough to activate. I try to find the packages indicated , but find only "virtual packages" which contain only pkgmap.
I installed upgrade 6 on a spare disk to make sure my u7 installation was not defective, but got similar results.
I got beyond luactivate on x86 a while ago, but had other snags which I left unattended.
