Make non-global zone svcs persistant accross reboots

Q: Solaris 10 services such as telnet will need to be enabled after installation of non-glabal zones. Command "svcs enable telnet" did not leave telnet enabled after rebooting a non-global zone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you do the "svcs enable telnet" while zlogin'ed to the zone.
If so it should have worked.

Dynamically adding a device to a non-global zone

How can you add a new device to a non-global zone without having
to reboot the zone ? Obviously using zonecfg and then rebooting the
zone works but often rebooting the zone would be very user unfriendly.
In particular we occasionally need to add a new disk mirror in the global
zone and then let the non-global zone have access to it.

So each zone has a /dev tree that's private in <zoneroot>/dev which gets lofs mounted to /dev in the zone. You can mknod a new device in here and it appears instantly in the zone. Use the same major and minor numbers that device has in the global zone. If it's a disk device, make sure to major both the block and character device.
Of course, you want to edit the zone config to make it permanent (though I suspect it may actually be permanent if you mknod the device...)

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.

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?

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

*Missing utilities in Solaris11 Non global zone.*

Hi,
I created Non Global zone in Solaris 11, I found many utilities are missing in Non Global zone machine. For example in non global zone /usr/xpg4/bin contains only 2 utilities where as in global zone I have 68utilities. I copied few utilities from my global zone machine which ever is required for me(ex: id,grep,egrep....). I need to enable rlogin, telnet, ftp in my Solaris 11 non global zone machine. I installed pkg:/service/network/legacy-remote-utilities. But no luck. In some thread i found workaround to enable rlogin.
rlogin on zones in solaris 11 i found a workaround.
Need to copy 2 binaries and 2 .xml manifest from GZ to NGZ
cp /usr/sbin/in.rlogind
cp /lib/svc/manifest/network/login.xml
cp /usr/sbin/in.rshd
cp /lib/svc/manifest/network/shell.xml
Question1: how about other services?
Question2: As a concept It has to have all the utilities which is available in Global zone. Why these many utilities are missing? Am I doing any thing wrong or is it zone limitation? we are facing issue in only Solaris 11. where as in Solaris10 every thing works fine.

What you observed is normal. The basic Solaris 11 zone install gives you a somewhat minimal install. If you want additional packages, you can install them. If you want the zone install to have what you would install from a CD I suppose you could do a the following:
pkg install slim_install
pkg uninstall slim_install
My understanding is that the slim_install package contains dependencies which loads all of the desktop software but doesn't contain any content itself - which is why you can (and should) remove it afterwards.
That said, normally one uses a zone for a particular purpose. A better approach might be to install only the software in the zone which is needed for that purpose. That would save space, limit security exposure and reduce maintenance overhead. If your purpose is to have a full user environment, that may be to include all the slim_install packages and maybe others as well.
I would recommend that you not install services by copying files. If you need a service find out what package contains that service and install the package in the zone. That way you won't break maintenance via pkg update.
So - your questions:
1. A Solaris 11 zone install is minimal, presumably to make it easy to set up simple single function zones. Additional packages can be added as needed using "pkg install" as needed to provide any necessary services.
2. Solaris 10 zones work differently and import most packages from the global zone. With Solaris 10 sparse zones, you actually use the same files from the global zone. Solaris 11 zones are different in that they are actually a separate install. The basic install is minimal, presumably to allow for small and simple single function zones. You are not doing anything wrong with respect to the basic install, this is just how things work.

Lucreate and non-global zones

Hi - I'm trying to get my head around Live Upgrades now that I've switched to ZFS on Solaris 10 for our test servers. The problem I have is we have a number of non-global zones and when I ran the lucreate command I get a number of warnings:
lucreate -n CPU_2012-07

So ALL my non-global zones live under /export/zones/<zonename> - what do all the WARNINGS mean?
I then applied the Oracle CPU, activated the ABE and shutdown the server. When it came back up non of the zones would start and this seems to be because now all the zonepaths and references to the zones are labelled with CPU_2012-07 on the end. Now I can edit the zone xml files to fix this but am sure this is not the recommended method and something I would prefer not to do.
So basically I think I have not set my ZFS resource pools up correctly to take into account my non-global zones and where I have created them.
My zfs list output looks like this now, unfortunately I don't have the output prior to me starting this work:

OK, so been tinkering with this. I'm not sure this is my exact problem but a few people have reported issues with the following package:
121430-xx
In that it gives the exact same WARNINGS when trying to create an ABE via lucreate and you have non-global zones. So one of the suggestions was to go back to an earlier version of this patch and then someone said it was fixed in version 71 of the patch. So I installed the very latest version 121430-81 and now it fails with a different error. Fortunately this time I have a screen shot of the before and after:

Administration file for non-global zones

I want to install package in global zone. What attributes can I set in administration file? I use administration file for relocating packages by altering basedir. In global zone package is relocated, but installation continues for non-global zones in package basedir.
Is it possible to specify pkgadd -G parameter (install only in current zone) in administration file?
Regards
Jezz

We use the CDE login mechanism. From the CDE login screen on the global zone:
[] Select Options, Remote Login, Enter Host Name from the CDE login screen.
[] Enter the hostname (not the zone name!) of the non-global zone in the Enter the host name box.
[] Click OK.
[] Once the CDE login screen appears with the hostname of the non-globalzone listed at the top, log in as sysadmin.
Notes: If the non-global zone or the system was recently booted, wait a few minutes and check to make sure that the cde-login service is running using the command:
svcs -a | grep cde-login
Also, if you have restricted /etc/Xaccess, you'll need to add your non-global zone to it.

GUI interface for non-global zones

My Goal:
Create multiple zones, each running different services thus eliminating the need for multiple servers w/out using VMware.
What I'm realizing:
Everything I've read points back to non-global zones being only a console based environment. Does anyone know if it's possible to login to non-global zones with a GUI interface?
Thanks,
Rick

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.

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 \

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

Can I import one non-global zone from one machine to another?

If create a non-global zone on one disk on machine A, is it possible to make a copy of that disk, and import the non-global zone to machine B? If yes, how to import the non-global zone?
Thanks!

It should be possible if your machines are installed at the same way, because you need the same environment (patches, packages,..).
If this is true you should export your zone definition on machine A (zonecfg export) and import it on machine B (zonecfg -f ...).
Then create the new zone on B. If finished get your zonepath with all data on A an copy it to B. That should be all.
With this solution I hope it would be possible to have a shadow instance on B and the aktiv instance on A. If you have your whole zonepath on external disks like EMC, you only have to mount your disks on B and start your zone.

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.

Adding a cdrw to a non-global zone

Hi all,
I am attempting to add a cdrw on a laptop running Solaris 10 to a
non-global zone via the following (after browsing the archives of this
list as well as related forums and documentation):
"cdrw -l" when run in the global zone reports
"/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2" as the sole CD writer attached. I have previously
burnt cdr(s) using this, so the functionality of the drive is not an issue.
I then proceeded to configure a zone, "zulu01", and added a device via
the following using zonecfg (I have omitted the other configuration data
which is standard, root path, standard inherit-pkg-dir)
"add device"
"set match=/dev/rdsk/*"
"end"
"commit"
"verify"
I then installed the zone
"zoneadm -z zulu01 install"
zoneadm does the usual and reports success.
I boot the zone
"zoneadm -z zulu01 boot"
and login via "zlogin -C zulu01"
Inside zulu01, running "cdrw -l"
reports "No CD Writers found."
a "ls /dev/rdsk" shows that c1t0d0s2 is present.
I am aware that adding such a device is not recommended, but it is
supposedly possible?
Please advise on what I am doing wrong, or is it not possible to add a
cdrw to a non-local zone?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jeremy.

This should work. A shot in the dark: can you try with another tool than cdrw, cdrecord for example? Also make sure that volume management is not running in the global zone (/etc/init.d/volmgt stop).

LDAP Client Configuration in Non Global Zone

I have configured 3 non global zones (different ip addresses and different names from global zone), installed LDAP client 2 on each, which worked fine, until the zones were rebooted. The ldapcachemgr was running, but authentication does not work--have to reinstall ldapclient each time.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here are a few things to check:
1. /var/ldap/ldap_client_file - Does it have the info you're expecting? If not, it could be the config profile in the Direcotry Server is incorrect.
2. /etc/nsswitch.conf - Is it configured correctly?
3. /etc/pam.conf - Is that configured correctly?
4. If the above files appear OK, check the access logs on the Directory Server.
HTH,
Roger S.

Sharing software package with non-global zone

I've installed Solaris Studio 12.3 to a global zone on Solaris 11 following instructions from http://pkg-register.oracle.com which I want to make available to the non-global zones. Do I need to install it independently for all zones, or can I export/share it?

All files are normally installed in /opt/solarisstudio12.3. You can share it, but it is recommended to install it independently for all zones if you want different installed versions.

Help Required: Moving a Non Global Zone . . .

I am trying to move a non global zone using Solaris 10 6/06 . . .
# zoneadm -z testzone move /zones/newpath/testzone/
this happens . . .
usage: zoneadm help
zoneadm [-z <zone>] list
zoneadm -z <zone> <subcommand>
Subcommands:
help
boot [-s]
halt
ready
reboot
list [-cipv]
verify
install
uninstall [-F]
i.e. there is no 'move' subcommand ???
however this document talks about moving non global zones with the 'move' subcommand . . .
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/6n4o5mdg1?a=view
any ideas?
thank you.

If you look closely at the document. You'll notice the solaris express in the document path.
That functionality is scheduled for Solaris 10 11/6 aka sol10u3.
