Jdk 1.6 + solaris 10 (global + non global zones)

How to execute or fetch jdk1.6 in global zone when it is installed in the non global zone of solaris 10?
kindly explain in step-by-step procedure
thanks,

I have a similar problem with pkgadd. When installing an auditing application we get the following error:
pkagadd: ERROR: unable to make temporary directory </var/tmp//installtEaBs/install9_aG1u>
No changes were made to the system.
This is a package that is being installed remotely using an automated process and the package does install using the pkgadd command on the server. The automation has produced the same or a similar error on several servers while producing no errors and successfully installing on others. We cannot duplicate the error across the board. The packge has been reviewed and has been found to have no errors, the automation process has been evaluated and has done successful jobs on other Solaris 10 servers since failing on the ones with this error. The exact same automated job produces successful and unsuccessful jobs on various servers.
There are 2 patch levels that we have identified 118833-26 and 118833-30. Both the 26 and 30 versions have had successful and unsuccessful installations of the SE agent. There are various subnets involved and all of them have had successful and unsuccessful installations of the SE agent.
If anyone out there has run into this problem before please help me out. This installation is automated on many Solaris 10 servers, and is successful on about 2 out of 3. It is of course the failed jobs that I have to focus on, until we can get it resolved.

How to login to solaris 10 global zone from ILOM SUN T5140

Gurus,
I logged into ILOM SUNT5140, able to issue the command 'start SP/console', it came back to {0} ok prompt. How I can get into global zone from ok prompt?
Regards
Deva

Either you somehow issued a break to the system and hence ended up in the OK prompt, in this case type 'go' at the OK prompt.
If not, you probably haven't booted up the system yet, in which case you should type 'boot' at the OK prompt.

PHP in Solaris 10 and Non-Global Zones: Problem of performance?

Hi friends
We are feeling a poor performance with applications developed with PHP in Solaris 10, with non-global and global zones, while Intel platform (Xeon and Pentium), performance is very good. Difference between both platforms is about 200% aprox, one second in Intel to 9, 12 or 20 seconds in Solaris depending of model.
Our tests were developed in:
1. SF T2000 server Solaris 10 global zone
2. SF T2000 server Solaris 10 non-global zone
3. SF280R server Solaris 10 non-global zone
4. V240 server with 1 GB memory, 1*US III-i 1.0 GHz and Solaris 9 (really this version for test and comparisons)
5. V240 server with 8GB memory, 2*US III-i 1.5Ghz and Solaris 9 (really this version for test and comparisons too)
Intel platforms were:
1. Intel Pentium 4 2GHz 2GB memory, Linux Fedora and PHP 4.4.4
2. Intel Xeon 2 core, 2.33GHz 2GB memory, Linux Fedora and PHP 4.4.3
Versions of products are:
1. Solaris 9 or Solaris 10
2. PHP 4.4.7 downloaded from http://www.php.net/downloads.php
3. Apache 2.0.59
4. MySQL 4.1.15-log
Our php compilation and installation were:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-4.4.7 \
--with-pear \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-gettext \
--with-ldap=/usr/local \

Questions:
Is there any problem of PHP with SunFire T2000 servers or 64-bits platforms?
Is there any flag of PHP would be use to compilarion PHP in 64-bits or multithread?
I wait for any comments or suggestions about our problem with PHP compilation and performance in Solaris 10. Thanks a lot.
Sergio.

I presume you compiled php on the Sun server, was this done using gcc or the Sun One C compiler.
If the latter then you can also use the flag: --enable-nonportable-atomics when you run configure

Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones?

Hi Champs,
Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones? Idea is to patch DEV-zones only on the system & test applications and then patch only the STG-zones on same server!
Not sure if it is possible but just throwing a question...
Cheers,
Nitin

Yes, if you have branded (non-sparse) zone!Branded zones and sparse zones don't have the relation that you imply. In Solaris 10, native zones can be sparse or whole-root (non-sparse, as you say). Zones that are not native zones are branded zones. Branded zones on Solaris 10 include Solaris Legacy Containers, previously known as Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers. That add-on product allows you to run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 application environments under a thin layer of virtualization provided by the brands framework. solaris8 and solaris9 branded zones can be patched independently of each other and of the global zone.
Solaris 11 has no "native zones" - all zones use the brands framework. The "solaris" brand does no emulation and in that respect is very similar to native zones on Solaris 10. Solaris 11 also provides Solaris 10 Zones via the solaris10 brand. This allows zones or the global zone from a Solaris 10 system to be transferred to a Solaris 11 system and run as solaris10 zones. When running on Solaris 11, solaris10 zones can each be patched independently from each other and the Solaris 11 global zone. Technically, Solaris 11 doesn't have patches - it just has newer versions of packages to which the system is updated.

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 in a non-global zone

I need to run Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 in a non-global zone as I must cap the CPUs used for Oracle licensing limitations. My question is a simple one, but one for which I'm getting conflicting information depending upon whom I ask.
If I want to run RAC in a non-global zone on two nodes, does this require the use of Solaris Cluster?
I know there are good reasons to use Solaris Cluster, but the company for which I work cannot afford the additional expense of Solaris Cluster at this time. Is it possible to run Oracle RAC 10g in a capped container without Solaris Cluster or is Solaris Cluster absolutely required?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

AFAIK, Oracle 10g RAC is not supported in solaris containers.
It is however supported in Solaris zone clusters...in order to use it, you would have to use Sun Cluster 3.2 (iinm).

How to unlock Root Account in non-global zone on Solaris 10 Branded Zone

Hello All,
I have a phsical x86 server running Solaris 11. On top of that, I have 3 Solaris 10 branded zones configured. Due to security policy the root account has been locked by 5 failed login attempts.
Is there a way by which I can unlock root account in non-global zone.
I have the root access of global zone.
Pls help as these are production servers.
Regards

Hey,
It worked. Actually i forgot to save the file.
I changed the /<zonepath>/root/etc/shadow
Removed *LK* & then from global zone did zlogin -l root zonename
Thanks lot.

Live upgrade - solaris 8/07 (U4) , with non-global zones and SC 3.2

Dears,
I need to use live upgrade for SC3.2 with non-global zones, solaris 10 U4 to Solaris 10 10/09 (latest release) and update the cluster to 3.2 U3.
i dont know where to start, i've read lots of documents, but couldn't find one complete document to cover the whole process.
i know that upgrade for solaris 10 with non-global zones is supported since my soalris 10 release, but i am not sure if its supported with SC.
Appreciate your help

Hi,
I am not sure whether this document:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Maintaining+Solaris+with+Live+Upgrade+and+Update+On+Attach
has been on the list of docs you found already.
If you click on the download link, it won't work. But if you use the Tools icon on the upper right hand corner and click on attachements, you'll find the document. Its content is solely based on configurations with ZFS as root and zone root, but should have valuable information for other deployments as well.
Regards
Hartmut

Oracle 11.2 in Solaris 10 non-global zone?

When I try to install in a non-global zone in Solaris 10, the installer system check fails; I think this problem is well-known, but I can't find the guidance notes any more. The generic documentation isn't much help, I'm afraid. This is what I get from the system check, all round:
Expected Value: n/a
Actual Value: n/a
Not long ago I had a link to some notes that addressed thisproblem specifically, but I can't find them any more, unfortunately - does anybody here know?

Check Oracle® Database Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System.

What options do I have to patch the recommended patchset on Solaris 10 with a bunch of non-global zones?

With the standard patching process(installcluster), it takes a looong time since each zone needs veridated. Any option that I can apply the patchset to the global zone only, then later upgrade the non-global zones?
If possible, I'd like to use LU.

You can use LU but it will depend of your system config. There are instructions in the README of the patchset to install it on an alternate boot environment (previously created using lucreate).
If you plan to use LU, read the following docs first to avoid common issues:
Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements(Doc ID 1004881.1)
List of currently unsupported Live Upgrade (LU) configurations (Doc ID 1396382.1)
You can also use Parallel Patching feature to improve performance :
https://blogs.oracle.com/patch/entry/zones_parallel_patching_feature_now
Solaris 10 10/09: Zones Parallel Patching to ReducePatching Time (System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers…
What you can't do is patch the global zone only and the non-global zones later (unless the zones are detached). It's a requirement that the global and non-global stay synchronize at all time (considering that they are sharing the same kernel).

Enable gdm in Solaris 11 non-global zone

I am trying to enable gdm in a fresh solaris 11 NGZ. I installed slim_install and solaris-desktop. gdm will not start, and shows the following:
# svcs -xv gdm
svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default (GNOME Display Manager)
State: offline since Thu Jun 14 10:56:54 2012

I gather from reading other threads that dbus will not run in a NGZ, so how can I get gnome desktop manager to start?

Hello,
if you still have not got any answer from oracle support like us, perhaps i can give you a hin to fix this ...
First we changed /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
Then we changed smf service layout for svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
We deleted dependencies for hal, consolekit and dbus in /lib/svc/manifest/application/graphical-login/gdm.xml
After that we started gdm service, but it failed. THe gdm-binary needs a socket from dbus ...
So we modified dbus start script.
Just comment check for "non-global zone" out in /lib/svc/method/svc-dbus
#if smf_is_nonglobalzone; then
# /usr/sbin/svcadm disable -t svc:/system/dbus
# echo "dbus-daemon cannot be run in non-global zones"
# sleep 5 &
# exit $SMF_EXIT_OK
#fi
then start dbus service and gdm service ...
hope that helps...
Just contact Oracle to deliver update for you !
thanks

Netbackup with Solaris non-global zone!

Hi,
How to install and configure netbackup into Solaris 10 non-global zone? what steps need to follow?
Thanks
Tanvir

I agree with running from the global zone. The added benefit is that if you backup the root of all zonepaths, then when you add any new non-global within that path, the new server will be automatically backed up.
We had been installing the client on each server both global and non-global in the past. On our non-global zones, /usr is not writeable but /opt is. We would symlink /usr/openv to /opt/openv from the global and then remotely install the client software from the backup master via
"/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_client_files ssh <client>"

How to create a separate /var partition on solaris non-global zone

Hi
I found no simple way to create a separate /var partition in solaris non-global zone.
I am using solaris 10 u9 and my root pool is zfs. My zone's zonepath is also separate zfs fs.
But, I do not know how to make the /var as a mountpoint of another zfs dataset since /var is not empty.
I also do not know if there is a way to install a zone with /var as a separate (outside '/') partition.
That will be really useful.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Edited by: vadud3 on Sep 20, 2010 12:16 PM

I meant a separate zfs fs with mountpoint '/var' in a non-global zone.
I am insisting, because I do not want /var to fill up the '/' on non-global zone.
With default non-global zone installation, you cannot avoid that.
My zonepath itself is a zfs fs. I also have a zfs dataset provisioned to the non-global zone.
I cannot create a zfs fs out of that dataset and mount it as '/var' becasue by then non-global zone
already installed content on '/var'
I want the '/var' as a separate dir or mountpoint, the same reason global zone gives you that option during install.
Thanks

Sharing mounts on non global zone in Solaris 10

How to install JDK6 and Netbeans 6 in a non-global zone?

Hi,
I have a Solaris system where I want to deploy separate containers for several developers.
I'm having difficulty in installing JDK 6 and Netbeans 6, I get lots of missing package errors in non-global zone.
What would be the best approach for installing jdk 6 + netbeans 6 seperately for each developer?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
It depends how you have created your zone, what has been inherited from the global:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /lib
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /platform
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /sbin
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /usr
But if you only want a jdk and netbeans, there is no really dependencies the simplest approach si to download the not packaged version and put it in /opt which is not inherited
You just have to put a jdk in /opt/jdk1.6.0... and netbeans in /opt/netbeans-6.0..
Don't really understand why you want a separate zone, one zone, several accounts which share the same jdk and netbeans, that's the way unix work ;)
