Q:Creating Solaris 11.1 zone inside Solaris 11.1 LDOM fails

Hello,
I have a server where I've created a LDOM and I'd like to create zones inside that LDOMs and it isn't working at all for me. If I try to create a zone outside of my LDOM it works perfectly fine. What am I missing here?
Control domain: host-22
LDOM hostname is host-40.
Zone name is wls-zone.
OS: Solaris 11.1
Server: T5220Some information from the SP:
============================ FW Version ============================
Version
Sun System Firmware 7.4.4.f 2012/09/07 17:21
====================== System PROM revisions =======================
Version
OBP 4.33.6.a 2012/03/29 11:22I am trying this when I am creating the zone and I get an error message when I am trying to boot the zone, which I don't know the solution or how to debug. AFAIK, in Solaris 11.1, the VNIC should be created automatically when creating the zone (as it does on a bare metal machine without LDOMs)?
root@host-40:~# zoneadm -z wls-zone boot

To use a Solaris 11 zone with an exclusive IP based on a VNIC, you need to be at a recent SRU of Solaris 11.1 and run a recent version of the logical domains manager  (3.0.0.2 or later) - and then configure the virtual network device to have additional MAC addresses. Please have a look at https://blogs.oracle.com/jsavit/entry/vnics_on_vnets_now_available

  • Probem in creating Solaris 10 branded zone on Solaris 11.0

    Hello,
    I'm creating a zone on HP Blade with Solaris 11.0 using VM template Solaris 10u10 (x86).
    I haven't /etc/defaultrouter file, my Solaris 11 is 11/11 and not Express version.
    The error shows that variable used for temporary directory is lost. It's very strange because I completed 5 installations in the same way without any problem. But two last just are stopping with this error:
    ./setupSysidcfgStaticIP[50]: America/Montreal/sysidcfg.VL-VM-LD104: cannot create [No such file or directory]
    cp: cannot access America/Montreal/sysidcfg.VL-VM-LD104
    chmod: WARNING: can't access America/Montreal/sysidcfg.VL-VM-LD104
    The "setupSysidcfgStaticIP" script is one of the many in the image which runs the creation of sysidcfg-file for the zone. It has 9 arguments to run:
    CONT=$1
    ZONEPATH=$2
    NIC=$3
    IP_ADDR=$4
    NETMASK=$5
    DEFROUT=$6
    PASSWD=$7
    TZONE=$8
    TMPDIR=$9
    The sysidcfg-filename is calculated as SYSIDCFG=$TMPDIR/sysidcfg.$CONT <- here is the error, the $TMPDIR fails
    After that the script creates the file and renames it:
    /usr/bin/rm -rf $SYSIDCFG
    /usr/bin/sed -e s/RzoneR/$CONT/ $_tktHome/conf/sysidcfgStaticIP |\
    /usr/bin/sed -e s/RnicR/$NIC/ |\
    /usr/bin/sed -e s/RnetmaskR/$NETMASK/ |\

    /usr/bin/sed -e s]RtimezoneR]$TZONE] |\
    /usr/bin/sed -e s]RpasswdR]$PASSWD] >> $SYSIDCFG
    /usr/bin/cp $SYSIDCFG $ZONEPATH/root/etc/sysidcfg
    /usr/bin/chmod 777 $SYSIDCFG
    The tmpdir is created and used in main script but it fails in the subroutine. I don't understand why it was used before without any problem and now it fails. I spent yesterday about 6 hours to debug it but still don't have any idea how to fix it.
    I use the image solaris-10u10-x86.bin .
    I cannot use the newer image solaris-10u11-x86.bin (which works perfectly) because it isn't certified for our production and the set of servers needs to be installed with the same patch level.
    Any help will be appreciated!

  • Creating a Solaris 8 branded zone

    I am in the process of configuring a Solaris 8 branded zone using the SUNWsolaris8 package and the instructions in the Solaris8 Container Guide. Solaris 10 08/07 is installed in the global zone. I have the following kernel patches installed as required: 127111-08 and 128548-08. I get the following error after configuring the zone when I try to verify the zone:
    -bash-3.00# zonecfg -z gfxc-qazone
    gfxc-qazone: No such zone configured
    Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
    zonecfg:gfxc-qazone> create -t SUNWsolaris8
    zonecfg:gfxc-qazone> set autoboot=true
    zonecfg:gfxc-qazone> set zonepath=/export/zones/gfxc-qazone

    zonecfg:gfxc-qazone> verify
    gfxc-qazone: unknown brand.
    gfxc-qazone: Invalid document
    I cannot find any other information anywhere on this error. I am hoping those that have successfully installed a Solaris 8 branded zone can help me out. Thanks.

    I have installed the SUNWs8brand packages before I started the configuration and I also installed the patch. I am not sure what you mean if the package installed in the correct order. I cannot find what I am missing. The original installation for the global zone was using the SUNCreq with other packages added during the installation. I realized after the O/S installation that I needed the zone packages as well as the live upgrade packages. After installing those packages I installed the SUNWs8brand packages. Let me know if there is something else that I am missing. I am thinking of re-installing the O/S with the End User software group.

  • How to create a separate /var partition on solaris non-global zone

    Hi
    I found no simple way to create a separate /var partition in solaris non-global zone.
    I am using solaris 10 u9 and my root pool is zfs. My zone's zonepath is also separate zfs fs.
    But, I do not know how to make the /var as a mountpoint of another zfs dataset since /var is not empty.
    I also do not know if there is a way to install a zone with /var as a separate (outside '/') partition.
    That will be really useful.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks
    Edited by: vadud3 on Sep 20, 2010 12:16 PM

    I meant a separate zfs fs with mountpoint '/var' in a non-global zone.
    I am insisting, because I do not want /var to fill up the '/' on non-global zone.
    With default non-global zone installation, you cannot avoid that.
    My zonepath itself is a zfs fs. I also have a zfs dataset provisioned to the non-global zone.
    I cannot create a zfs fs out of that dataset and mount it as '/var' becasue by then non-global zone
    already installed content on '/var'
    I want the '/var' as a separate dir or mountpoint, the same reason global zone gives you that option during install.
    Thanks

  • Solaris 8 branded zone and privileges

    Hello,
    I've just installed a Solaris 8 Branded zone to migrate an old server. The migration worked like a charm, and everything seems ok excepted one thing. The zone must run a Lotus Domino server, so the process needs to bind ports 80, 443 and 389, but it can't.
    I've found things about the limitpriv directive for the zone configuration, and the net_privaddr privilege to allow a process to bind ports under 1024.
    So now, if I run the process in the non global zone as root, it can bind, but if it is launched as the user notes, it can't.
    If I use the ppriv command to see what are the privileges of the process, I see :
    1945:   /opt/lotus/notes/latest/sunspa/server
    flags = <none>
            E: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
            I: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
            P: file_link_any,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_session
            L: contract_event,contract_observer,file_chown,file_chown_self,file_dac_execute,file_dac_read,file_dac_search,
            file_dac_write,file_link_any,file_owner,file_setid,ipc_dac_read,ipc_dac_write,ipc_owner,net_bindmlp,net_icmpaccess,
            net_mac_aware,net_privaddr,net_rawaccess,proc_audit,proc_chroot,proc_exec,proc_fork,proc_info,proc_lock_memory,
            proc_owner,proc_session,proc_setid,proc_taskid,sys_acct,sys_admin,sys_audit,sys_mount,sys_nfs,sys_resourceSo, the net_privaddr appears in the limit, but it is not enabled. How can I make it enabled for that process?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the link, good explanations about privileges but they seem unusable in Solaris 8 branded zone. It suggests to create a role with the privileges my process needs, using the "rolemod -K" command, but this option does not exist for the rolemod command in my Solaris 8 zone, it just supports "classic" RBAC.
    Maybe the solution would be to create the good profile for the user running the process, but I'm a little bit lost with RBAC and I can't find an existing profile corresponding to what I want.
    Actually, the limitpriv for my zone is "default,net_rawaccess,net_privaddr,file_dac_read" and that's all. I added net_privaddr and file_dac_read because I saw that a "ppriv -D" on the Lotus server complained about the lack of these privileges, but in fact they are already included in default privileges.

    Regards

    Hello All,
    I would love to know if someone has a solution to this as I am seeing a similar issue with a slightly different setup.
    Solaris 8 and Netra 240. I get the same result with and without patches and finish scripts. After the jumpstart and the failed boot attempt from disk. I can boot from cd, copy the glm driver from the cd to disk, and then everything works as it should. Obviously this is not a solution but only a work around.
    Is it something to do with the SCSI hardware architecture used in the *240s?

  • Solaris 10-Branded Zone

    Hi,
    I am trying to establish whether the following configuration is officially supported (and documented):
    "Non-Global zone running a release of Solaris 10 which is older than the release of Solaris 10 running in the Global Zone".
    I'm familiar with the idea of Branded Zones to support Solaris 8, 9 & some Linux kernels, and have seen some forum posts where people have created Solaris 10-branded zones, but haven't really seen anything that puts the official seal of approval on that configuration. Also I'm familiar with LDOMs and appreciate that I could get to where I want to be that way too.
    Any help welcome.
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    This will be supported in Solaris 10 Upate 9 to a degree, using p2v. Below is a reply I had to a request I'd put in. You might also want to read this
    http://blogs.sun.com/jerrysblog/entry/zones_p2v
    Hi Sean,
    I got information that p2v project is being backported for S10u9
    This means, that you will be able to install a native zone from a flar.
    I don't have detailed information at the moment, how this will work in terms of
    patching in combination with Global Zone and other sibling NGZ's.
    +According to Jerry Jelinek, Solaris10-branded zones will not being backported to Solaris 10,+
    Got this info yesterday evening from Jerry.
    I'll provide some more info about the p2v project for native zones in coming Solaris 10_U9,
    once I got more details.
    So, I'd suggest to check, whether the mentioned p2v project with flar on native zones might fit your requirements.
    Thanks,
    Alfred

    zonecfg:test> add device
    zonecfg:test:device> set match=/dev/zvol/dsk/sol8/vol
    zonecfg:test:device> end
    When I boot the zone it comes up ok but I am unable to see the device, nothing in format, /dev/dsk etc etc
    Ive also tried to setmatch to the raw device as well to no avail.
    Basically I have numerous zvols to add and dont really want a load of mount points from the global zone then lofs back to the local zone
    Any ideas please??
    Thanks...

    Thanks but that's why I created zfs volumes and newfs'ed them to create UFS and presented those to the zone.
    In the end I just create a script in /etc/rc2.d and mounted the filesystems in there.

  • Possible to upgrade Solaris 9 branded zone to 10?

    We have an application running in a Solaris 9 branded zone. The application version is not compatible with Solaris 10, however, the next version of the application is compatible with Solaris 10.
    So the plan is to upgrade the application in the branded zone, then upgrade the branded zone to Solaris 10.
    All the reading I have found so far indicates that it is not possible to upgrade a Solaris 9 branded zone to !0.
    Can it be done, and if so, pointers to a documented process would be helpful.

    So the plan is to upgrade the application in the branded zone, then upgrade the branded zone to Solaris 10.If the next version is compatible with Solaris 10 then backup the data,
    create a new Solaris 10 zone
    install the new version into the zone
    migrate the data
    test
    destroy the now unnecessary Solaris 9 branded zone.
    For something like this play in a dev environment first.

  • Misconfigured rcap on Solaris 10 with zones - SMF fails to start rcap

    Hi,
    I have just installed Solaris 10 on a brand new T5220 server (Niagara processor, 16GB of RAM). After creating first non-global zone with capped memory and cpu, SMF fails to start rcap service:

    Clearing service status helps, but this error is reported after every system restart. FSS is set as the default system's scheduling class.

    What have I missed?

    The reason of this behave: the root's home directory was located on the filesystem different than root filesystem. After moving it everything works fine.

  • Migrate Solaris 10 Physical Server to Solaris 10 Zone

    Hi All,
    I am trying to migrate a physical solaris 10 server to a solaris 10 zone. I have used the flar create archive tool to make the image.
    On the target system i have created but not installed a solaris 10 zone. According to suns documentation you should be able to run zoneadm -z <zonename> install -a <flash file path
    But when i do this it keeps wanting the -x option after the install but no where does it say in the documentation.
    Has anybody come across this at all?
    Thanks
    D

    It's not too bad. I have been doing this for a couple of years before the latest update came out.
    0. Ensure the two systems are at the same release and patch levels.
    1. Create AND install the solaris non global zone (ngz)
    2. Once complete, from the global zone, remove the root directory of the ngz.
    cd <zoneroot>/root (i.e. cd /zones/myhost/root && rm -rf /zones/myhost/root/.)
    3. split the flar of the source system .. 'flar split sourceflar.flar' ( you ar interested in the archive file from the split)
    4. from the global zone, extract the archive file into the ngz root.
    cd <zoneroot>/root
    cat archive | uncompress -c | cpio -ivdmu
    5. boot the zone
    6. when the zone comes up, you will have some cleaning up to do of the non needed services
    fmd,picl,fc-fabric,sysevent .. there will be others.. but just stepping through them with svcs -x
    7. that should do it.
    good luck

  • Solaris 8 branded zone core dump on cssd

    Hi,
    Just migrated my first Sol8 machine to a solaris 8 branded zone. but on the console I get error messages:
    Nov 8 12:45:42 gent320b cssd: The process "ccv.sh" has been killed by sig#139, core dumped

    output doesn't list any /dev/ccv or /dev/kkcv sockets like to 'real' machine.
    Any ideas?

    This error messages are output by
    cssd which is a input method of Japanese.
    If you don't use Japanese input method cs00, you can stop it by following method.
    # /etc/init.d/loc.ja.cssd stop
    # mv /etc/rc2.d/S90loc.ja.cssd /etc/rc2.d/_S90loc.ja.cssd
