Moving a zone in Solaris10 3/05

3/05 is pre # zoneadm -z my-zone move /newpath
Could someone please provide me with the proper procedure for moving a zone?

Hi,
what we have done in the past with the same version is stopping the zone and then
do a cpio to the new destination. Also we tried the same procedure with an
rsync procedure.
Both has worked, but the sizes of the copied and original zones had been different
by comparing with the du -ks command.
We have never seen any problems, but of course i assume that this procdures are NOT supported
by SUN.

Moving a zone in Solaris 10 3/05

What is the proper procedure for moving a zone in Solaris 3/05 (which does not have the 'zoneadm -z <zone> move <path>' command)?

The zones stuff is tightly integrated with much of the other OS infrastructure eg kernel, libraries etc.
Its not possible to upgrade just the zones stuff by installing packages.
You could upgrade the zones stuff by applying patches, but it will drag a lot of other stuff in as preqrequisites.
Just installing a recommended patch set should accomplish this.
But it may be simpler to just upgrade to 5/08 and be done with it. Liveupgade or upgrade install should work.

DB 10gR1 in a zone on solaris10/x86

Hi,
i'm trying to install Oracle10g R1 on solaris 10 ( 6/06 ) x86 ( 32 bit ) -- thus i can't load R2 on it. ( only x86-64 supported ). Moreover i'm trying to install in a dedicated zone with inherited /usr,/var, /opt etc. there aren't any resource pools created ( pooladm )
i've already figured that i had to update some ini file to support 5.10 OS version ( only 5.6-5.9 were listed )
the DB server is not running Xserver, but i've setup environiment to connect to remote Xserver -- my workstation -- this works -- xterm/xload/xlogo are all working. but when i launch runInstaller:
oracle@db:/ora-install/Disk1$ sh runInstaller

Zones on Solaris10 x86

I don't understand the licensing, support and platforms zones run on.
1) Are zones supported on X86 Solaris?
2) Are they available in OpenSolaris x86?
3) I saw a demonstration of a really nice gui tool to configure and move zones, (Container Manager?), is that an additional product?
Thank you,
Hank

1) Are zones supported on X86 Solaris?Yes
2) Are they available in OpenSolaris x86?Yes
3) I saw a demonstration of a really nice gui tool to
configure and move zones, (Container Manager?), is
that an additional product?You're probably thinking of Solaris Container Manager, which is an add-on product to Sun Management Center. Both of these are licensed seperately from Solaris. They do come with the Solaris 10 media kit (2 CDs with yellow labels) or can be downloaded at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/.
From the website:
Note: Sun Management Center software can be downloaded free of charge, however a license needs to be purchased in order to use.

Wow! The package installation in to ZoneA (on top of 'make install' installation) takes the same effect as in ZoneB. I have no idea where to look for solution!
Does any body known why these ldd outputs are different?
Edited by: ph7 on May 13, 2010 8:36 AM

The answer is very easy, but very difficult to discover:
because i have installed new files over the files already available in the system, I've missed what link /opt/local/lib/libapr-1.so.0 was changed from libapr-1.so.0.3.9 to libapr-1.so.0.4.2. And as a result, no changes in prototype file were done! In spite of this, application starting with old libraries and had the problems that this library had.

Moving from solaris6 to solaris10

Hey,
I'm going to upgrade my e450 server that is running solaris 6 to another e450 that i'm going to install with solaris 10.
The thing is the old installation have a lot of binary home made stuf on it and I havn't got the source code, so my question is can a solaris 10 run my solaris 6 binaries ???
Tnx

Probably not.
You will not know until you try.
Install everything to the newer system and test it before you remove the original system from production.

ICal time zone sync issue btwn macbook & iPhone

Hi,
My machine is x86 , OS is winxp
Iam using solaris10 running on VMware player. I have created a test zone on solaris10 using solaris9 container and down loaded solaris9-image.flar and saved on Apps folder. But iam unable to install solaris9-image.flar to test zone.

As iam new in solaris can anyone help on regard this......Thanks in advance.
Arunii2

one more thing, I just noticed, that you are using X86 solaris. so have a look at this:
"A Solaris 9 branded zone (solaris9) is a complete runtime environment for Solaris 9 applications on *SPARC* machines running the Solaris 10 8/07 Operating System or later."
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4490/gfjbk?a=view
so, you won't be able to test those things on x86 machine.

How to install Zone

Hi,
I am new to this zone feature and I do not know where and how to start. Can you tell me how to install/create a zone?
Thanks.
HS

You have to write the vfstab entry only for /zone
the permissions for /zone must be 700, the subdirectory, in your example my-zone , will be created automaticly.
A little example for a simple root-zone
root@solaris10-test:/usr/bin # zonecfg -z my-zone
my-zone: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:my-zone> create
zonecfg:my-zone> set zonepath=/zone/my-zone
zonecfg:my-zone> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:my-zone> remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/lib
zonecfg:my-zone> remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/platform
zonecfg:my-zone> remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/sbin
zonecfg:my-zone> remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/usr
zonecfg:my-zone> add net
zonecfg:my-zone:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:my-zone:net> set address=XX.XX.XX.XX
zonecfg:my-zone:net> end
zonecfg:my-zone> verify
zonecfg:my-zone> commit
zonecfg:my-zone> exit
zoneadm -z my-zone install
After the package-copy
zoneadm -z my-zone boot
zlogin -C my-zone

Updating memory capping for zones in default pool.

Updating memory capping for zones in default pool. Has anyone else run into this where the items for physical/locked/shared memory and swap for zones within the default pool are not changeable? Is this a known bug or feature?
After moving a zone from the default pool to a user created pool, update these values and then move back to the default pool, I find that I am at that point able to update these values for zones in the default pool now?
Anyone else hitting this?

Is it a full zone or a sparse zone?
prstat doesn't really understand everything that's going on. Its numbers are not accurate when pages are shared (very likely in a sparse zone).

Zone Restoration

Hi
I have a server running Solaris 10 with whole root zone mounted on /zone/zone1. I want to know if I take the backup of /zone/zone1 directory mounted on Filesystem1 in single user mode using tar or cpio can I restore the zone and be able to start it if I just restore the /zone/zone1 backup onto a new filesystem Filesystem2 and mount that under /zone/zone1 or any other steps are involved to make the zone bootable
TIA

I don't think you need to do anything in single user mode. To move a zone, I'd login to the underlying machine (global zone) and from there do the following:
1. Shut the zone down.
2. Detach the zone (zoneadm -z ZONENAME detach)
3. Move the files of the detached zone to where I need them.
4. If necessary, tweak the zone configuration using zonecfg.
5. Attach the zone (zoneadm -z ZONENAME attach -u)
6. Boot the zone.
If you move the zone to a different machine, step #4 would be to establish a proper zone configuration on the new machine. You may not need the -u option on attach, particularly if you're moving the zone to another location on the same machine. I use sparse root zones and find that attach -u helps clean up errors on those. I'm not sure how it would apply to whole root zones.

Buttons set as "free position" change back to default

In iDVD 6, if you move a button to free position and then save it, when you re-open the project the button position changes back to the default position. I am using the iDVD 6 theme "Reflection Black" and positioned the button in the gray pane at the bottom but it moves back up the pane to the default position no matter how I try to save it. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks

The first six slideshows behave themselves and stay where I position them in the area designed for the listing. The remaining six are off to the side right across the moving drop zones, which makes them hard to read.
I believe all of the menus are defaulted to handle six buttons, while you can add up to twelve on some, maybe this main menu can only "hold" six... I had four on mine.
How about one button on the main menu that says something like "Slideshows" and when you click on that it takes you to a new menu (the chapter menu) and try to put twelve there.

Solaris adapter: Error building user.

Hello!
We are using our IDM to manage users in Solaris Zones. This worked fine, but after moving some zones to a new system, the IDM says it does not find the users any more. When I do a "Accounts / Load from resource", I get the following error for many users:
Error extracting account 'nobody': com.waveset.adapter.exception.ContinuableIteratorException: Error building user.Does anyone know how to fix this error?
TIA
Stephan

Problem solved: I forgot to change the profile for the user which changes accounts on the system. After editing /etc/user_attr all works fine now.
