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
zonecfg:myzone>commit
zonecfg:myzone>exit
There is more detail on this in http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/application_in_zone.html

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.

Df error for lofs file system in local zone.

I 've a zone which is running oracle db instance. We have exported the SAN file system from the global zone as following
fs:
dir: /oradb
special: /oradb
raw not specified
type: lofs
options: []
from global zone
#df -h | grep oradb
/dev/dsk/emcpower174c 17G 5.1G 11G 31% /oradb/archa

/dev/dsk/emcpower180c 58G 35G 23G 61% /oradb/data1
Problem is from local zone if i do cd to /oradb/data1 and then df -h . , i get following error Is there anyway i get the usage or df o/p of lofs file system from the local zone itself
local_zone# df -h .
df: Could not find mount point for .
local_zone # pwd
/orad/data1
local_zone# df -h /oradbdb/data1
df: Could not find mount point for /oradbdb/data1
local_zone#

Do you have amount point within the zone path for these oradb mounts?
You have to add a directory entry for /oradb in the zone's root directory, i.e. ``zone_path''/root/oradb

Priocntl in local-Zones

Hi -
I have an application process, running in root, trying to sent priorities of other application processes on demand and load of data. Works fine in global zone, but not so when these are in local-zones. Uses priocntl to set and reset priorities. Understand that priocntl does not work due to priviledge issues in a local-zone. Is there any workaround for this. Very critical.
Thanks in advance
With Regards

If I understand correctly then absolutely!
If you need to access them as file systems, simply run zonecfg -z <zonename> then enter this:
add fs
set dir=<mountpoint>               (eg. /dba00 (relative to zoneroot))
set special=<block volume device>     (eg. the /dev/vx/dsk/ device)
set raw=<char volume device>          (eg. the /dev/vx/rdsk/ device)
set type=<fs type, ufs or vxfs>
set options=<mount options, eg largefiles,nosuid>
end
commit
exitIf you need access to them as raw volumes, use the "add device" then use "set match=/dev/vx/...." (we don't do this, so I don't have a cut-and-paste example to stick in...)

SAP/ORACLE File Systems Disappeared in Local Zone

I created some 20-30 files systems as meta devices for a SAP/Oracle installation on my 6320 SAN for a local zone.
I did a newfs on all of them and then mounted them in the global zone with their appropriate mount points.
I then did a zonecfg with the following input.

***********more available but I truncated it here**********************
I successfully installed and configured the zone.
I then logged into the local zone and installed a new version of Oracle and a working SAP instance. I know that it worked because I was able to log into it.
Upon rebooting the server and the local zone I have lost access to all of my file systems in the Oracle/SAP zone.
It's almost as if the global zone has not mounted its file systems over the local zones mount points. In the local zone I can see no files in the directories where I would expect Oracle or SAP files.
I either mis-configured the zonecfg or missed a step somewhere.
I suspect that my file system contents are still around somewhere waiting to be hooked up with a zone's mount point.
In the local zone a df -k shows all of the file systems (like the local zone knows about what file systems belong) but they all have the same size and free space (probably from the root zone).
Any thoughts appreciated.

Do you have amount point within the zone path for these oradb mounts?
You have to add a directory entry for /oradb in the zone's root directory, i.e. ``zone_path''/root/oradb

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

[SOLVED]mounting cdrom and usb devices doesn't work

Hello,
i have trouble mounting my usb devices. automount doesn't work and i can't mount them manually even as a superuser. here's the output of mount command:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
i can mount cdrom manually but i can't do the same for my usb stick and external hard drives. it always complains about the above regardless of the filesystem. my devices are working under windows and other linuxes so i know hardware is not the problem.
i'm using lxde with pcmanfm.
if you need any other files just ask.
thanks
Last edited by the gray (2009-03-16 20:15:18)

above was the error when i tried to mount any usb device with "mount -t <type> /dev/sdc /media/mountpoint". and i couldn't mount any usb device as root from console. when i tried to mount devices using pcmanfm it just popped some empty dialogs and i couldn't find any mention of "IsCallerPriviliged failed" error so i (wrongly) presumed it wasn't that. i did try some of the other fixes mentioned in the forum with no success. but adding exec ck-launch-session startkde to my .xinitrc fixed the issue
thanks again

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

We can see the exported cdrom volume in /dev/dsk as a new device and also at the ok prompt after running devalias.
However, we need to mount this device so that we can install software in our domain. All our attempts at mounting just hang and I end up having to stop/start the whole domain. ?
Is there an easy way to mount cdroms/dvd drives in a guest domain ?
TIA

There is an recently filed bug where DVDs (and ISO images) which do not have a VTOC in their disk label
fail to be mountable in the guest domain (e.g. application software DVDs as opposed to OS installation images).
6708257 DVD-ROM (not OS installation disk) can not mount from guest domain of LDOM 1.0.2
# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0d1s0 /mnt
mount: I/O error
mount: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c0d1s0
It's strange that you are getting a hang though (the reported error is an I/O error).
Are there any messages in /var/adm/message of the control domain?
What OS/patches are running on the guest and control domains (i.e is 127127-11 installed on both) ?
I've just had a thought though, exporting the DVD device as a slice instead may work
(it works for me on an ISO image but my machine is 1000s of miles away so I can't stick DVD in it
to try out)
e.g. ldm add-vdsdev options=slice /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2 cdrom@primary-vds0

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.
A good starter tutorial on zones is here: http://partneradvantage.sun.com/protected/solaris10/adoptionkit/tech/zones/tutorial.html

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.

Mount cdrom in a local zone
