Local zone doesnot boot

Hi all,
I have the following NIC setup:

What is my misstake?

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.

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.

Raw diskslices not visible in local zones

Hi,
I'm using sol X86-64 and created a local container. I want to run Oracle with ASM in this container. Because of that i need raw disks (of disk slices) in my container. I added them in the global container with the add device / set match command (see below).
I rebooted my zone (also tried to halt and boot), but i can't see the devices in the local zones.
Anyone ideas ????

Local zone using IPMP in global zone

Hi all,
I've installed a zone and when I'm booting it, I receive the following error :
bge0:2: could not bring interface up: address in use by zone 'global': Cannot assign requested addres
The bge2 is used in my global zone (member of IPMP group of 2 interfaces : bge0 - ce0).
Is there a way to use the IPMP mecanism from my global zone to my local zone ?
Something like :
add net
set address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
set physical = IPMP_group (instead of a physical interface)
OR must I unplumb the bge0 in the global zone in order to use it in local zone ?
Thanks for the help or the advices !
Quentin.

I think I won the 10 duke stars that I was giving for this topic ...
I didn't see that the IP/interface I wanted to configure with my local-zone was already plumbed in global zone from a previous failed zone boot.
I've unplumbed the logical interface in global zone and I've booted successfully the zone.

NFS in local zone

Hi,
Has anyone tried mount an NFS share into a zone?? I am unable to lofs or manually mount..
root@NFS_SERVER # share -F nfs -o rw /stage
root@LDOM1 # mount -F nfs -o rw NFS_SERVER:/stage /stage
Then try and mount /stage into the local zone - doesnt seem to work:
root@LDOM1 # zoneadm -z localzone boot
cannot verify fs /stage: NFS mounted file-system.
A local file-system must be used.
zoneadm: zone localzone failed to verify
root@LDOM1 #
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. It sounds like you're trying to mount a NFS filesystem in the global zone and then reference it somehow via the zone configuration as though it was a local filesystem. If so, I can't comment on whether that will work or not because I've no experience with that approach. What I have done successfully is to mount NFS filesystems via /etc/vfstab or automount inside the zone. That works just fine and it is done using exactly the same procedures as you'd use to mount NFS filesystems in the 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

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?

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")

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

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.

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?

Dear all,
Is it possible to install and running SMC Server 3.6 in local zone with whole root (not sparse) steup?
thanks

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.
