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.

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.

Using dtrace to tap into local-zone console output?

Was wondering if anyone has experimented with dtrace to capture zlogin console output for local zones. (all in the global ofcourse)
(I don't want to run zlogin and capture its output to a file, since that would interfere with normal "zlogin" operation.)
The idea would be to try and use dtrace to attach to some sort of centralized "zlogin construct/object" and then capure ALL zlogin console-output for ALL local zones, with dtrace, and then having that parsed out to log-files for each local zone.
Might sound a little far-fetched, but until a standard interface for zone-console logging is created, this may be the base we can do?
If you can think of alternatives, please share them.
thanks,

How do you create a new local zone w/o all the global zone packages

I have serveral servers with hundreds of packages added w/o the pkgadd -G option. Everytime I create a new local zone, the local zone inherits all the global zone packages. Is there a way to modify maybe the packaging DB to stop the automatic inhertitance of packages to create new empty local zone ?
Edited by: cslew on Feb 4, 2008 8:02 PM

Not really.
If we're talking about sparse zones, they share the root partition with the global zone anyway, so regardless of whether the packages were 'registered' with the zones, they would get the software anyway.
Of course, not registering the packages would speed up the patching process as it wouldnt have to futz around updating all the local package repositories.
So it would be an advantage in some respects.
If we're talking about a full root zone, then it ought to be possible in theory.
But I'm not aware of a way to do it in practice.

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

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?

autoboot: true

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")

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, 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?

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.
Airport Utility -> Airport Extreme -> Internet -> Connection Sharing -> Off (bridge mode)

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
zonecfg:myzone:fs>set type=lofs
zonecfg:myzone:fs>set options=[nodevices]
zonecfg:myzone:fs>end
zonecfg:myzone>verify

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.

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 ????

Hi,
It is "Solaris 10 8/07 s10x_u4wos_12b X86". So, i will look into this solution. It looks promising. I will let you know if it worked.
By the way, We're running sol x86-64 as a quick test. We will eventually be running Sol 10 SPARC.

Setting a floating IP in a solaris local zone!!

I want to install my fault tolerant application in two different
solaris local zones just to save the hardware cost and for testing
purposes.
Earlier before solaris 10, My application runs on two different
machines and receives the incoming requests on a floating IP, thus it
achieves the Fault tolerant behavior with floating IP moving across
the machines on the active application.
There was a separate monitoring process on each machine which runs as
root user and sets and unsets the floating IP using ioctl system calls
on a particular machine as per request received from the application.
Now i want to replicate the same behaviour in solaris 10 setup with my
Fault tolerant application running on two local zones and my
monitoring process which runs on each local zone, set and unset the
floating IP on the particular local zone.
No i want to know that if it is possible for any application to set
floating IP on a particular local zone, from that zone itself and how
can we achieve the same?
regards,
rish

I gather some big changes are afoot with the IP stack and zones with the latest Solaris update (the 8/07, update 4 release) -- each zone either does or can have it's own IP stack.

That's correct. You can now use private IP instances for a non-global zone if you want. That zone will now have it's own IP stack and can up/down addresses or whatever. But for now they have to have their own dedicated "interface". This has to be an ethernet device or a VLAN device.
