Renaming Zones and Zonesets

Good Day,
Just a basic question. We use 9509's and 9513's for our SAN configuration. If I rename either a zone or an active zoneset does this in any way disrupt the connections using the zone or the zoneset. I want to standardize the naming conventions for our systems to better identify what they serve.
Thanks
Jeffrey

I'm not sure you can just rename the zone and zoneset. I think you may have to edit the current zoneset and add in duplicate zones with the new name, then delete the existing zones, with the old name, and then reactivate the current zoneset to push the change out. As long as there is no change in zone membership, no connectivity should be impacted.
As for the zoneset name, you may have to create a duplicate zoneset with the new name, and all the zones...with the new names...then activate the new zoneset name. Again, this should cause no impact to existing connectivity since the zone members will not be changing.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Modify existing zone and zoneset members

can anyone help me or guide a best document to edit/modify the existing zone and zoneset through CLI in mds 9509 fabric switch

I am not able to see how to add and delete the members in existing zone in the document, can you tell below mention command is correct for adding new device alias in existing zone?
Ex:
zone name ZONE_VM000ESX_CX4480x01_AB vsan 100
device-alias CX4480x01_B3
device-alias VM000ESX_HBA1
device-alias CX4480x01_A3
above is the example i am taking to modify.
adding new member in the exisitng zone (below commands are correct?):
switch(config)# zone name ZONE_VM000ESX_CX4480x01_AB vsan 100
switch(config-zone)# member device-alias CX4480x01_A0
switch(config-zone)# exit
How to delete "device-alias CX4480x01_A3" member from existing zone?
after this how to edit the zoneset to see the modifications done on above zone to apply in zoneset?

Error occur while renaming zone name

dear all,
i have done following steps to rename but it is not changing
1. halt or down the zone
zoneadm -z zone23 halt
2. viewed the current status of the zone
zoneadm list -cv
it is currently in istalled state
3. zonecfg -z zone23
4. set zonename=zone30
but for step 4 i am getting following error
set <property-name>=<property-value>
For resource type ... there are property types ...:
(global) zonepath
(global) autoboot
(global) pool
fs dir, special, raw, type
inherit-pkg-dir dir
net address, physical
device match
rctl name, value
attr name, type, value
why i am getting above as output when i am trying to rename a halt zone using zonecfg.

Hi Friend,
Pls try this steps.
Renaming zone orazone to oraprodzone
Perform all of the below as root of global zone.
First shutdown your orazone zone
globalzone# zoneadm -z orazone halt
globalzone# vi /etc/zones/index
change orazone to oraprodzone
globalzone# cd /etc/zones
globalzone# mv orazone.xml oraprodzone.xml
globalzone# vi oraprodzone.xml
change orazone to oraprodzone
globalzone# cd /zones
-/zones is where I have stored all the zones
globalzone# mv orazone oraprodzone
-cd to your new zone (/zones/oraprodzone)and modify /etc/hosts, /etc/nodename, /etc/hostname.xxx
globalzone# cd /zones/oraprodzone/root/etc
-boot new renaming zone
globalzone# zoneadm -z oraprodzone boot

How to rename zones on MDS9513?

hi, I have a question.
since the system administrators changed the hostnames of the servers after zoning, so we need to update our zones correspondingly.
old hostnames new hostnames
MWDBWS0274 ------------->dbops01n1
MWDBWS0275 ------------->dbops01n2
please refer to the below for detail.
now I need to update device-alias as well as the zones.
how can I make this? I don't see "device-alias rename" or "zone rename" commands in the CLI reference book.
so would you please help point me the right steps?
thanks in advance!
1) this is the device-alias
fswcor01# sh device-alias database |grep -i MWDBWS027
device-alias name MWDBWS0274hba0 pwwn 20:03:04:25:b5:8a:00:6f
device-alias name MWDBWS0275hba0 pwwn 20:03:04:25:b5:8a:00:7f
fswcor02# sh device-alias database |grep -i MWDBWS027
device-alias name MWDBWS0274hba1 pwwn 20:03:08:25:b5:8a:00:6f
device-alias name MWDBWS0275hba1 pwwn 20:03:08:25:b5:8a:00:7f
2) these are the old zones on the 2 switches
fswcor01# sh zoneset |grep -i MWDBWS027
zone name MWDBWS0274hba0_lasvnx01_spa4p2 vsan 510
pwwn 20:03:04:25:b5:8a:00:6f [MWDBWS0274hba0]

Zones and Zone Sets

I am trying to create a zone (hard zone - VPF) that is composed of 2 different blades. I would like the fibre attached into these 2 different blades to see each other and anythinf else plugged into the switch. I get an error message saying that I can't do this type of zone because it crosses 2 different blades. Is their a way around this? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Any zones not added to the zoneset are effectively unused, so depending on if the zones that are not yet in the zoneset are required, yes you will have to add them in.
However, the WWPNs you have listed do not appear to be using the Cisco recommended format for WWPN Pools (20:00:00:25:B5:xx:yy:zz) so perhaps you are not using pools or these zones are not related to UCS? If they are indeed UCS related zones then yes add them to the zoneset, but consider using the Pools instead if this is so.
My suggestion would be to use all WWPN zones and not mix with interface zones.
On each MDS switch, create a zone that contains only the two WWPNs of the storage controllers, ideally using an easy to identify alias. This guarantees the SAN ports can always see each other. Then, create an additional zone for each UCS blade that contains the blade WWPN from the WWPN Pool as well as the storage zone mentioned above. This allows the vHBA to see the SAN ports.
Here is a reference document you may find helpful.

Firm Zone and Trade off Zone in Scheduling Agreement

Dear All
Please explain in detailed the concept of Firm Zone and Trade off Zone in Scheduling Agreement, and it's effects in MRP run, i.e. If i take a MRP run for a material whci is having firm zone as 30 days and trade off zone as 60 days then what will be the result of MRP. The Material MRP type is VB
Thanks and Regards
Manoj

Hi,
Firm zone is the time frame in which you cannot change your orders (schedule lines) that you have ordered from a vendor in any way (Date change nor quantity change).
Trade off zone is time frame within which you can make changes to your procurement proposals, these changes are acceptable from vendor's side.
These time frames are agreed with the Vendor and then inserted for each scheduling agreement in 'Additional data'.
For your example if you take firm zone 30 days and trade-off zone 60 days, the check starts from current day on which MRP runs. For exampe current day is 1st Oct, all the procurement proposals with delivery date within 30 days that is till 1st September are firm orders, which MRP will not change in any case (You can find such orders with * in front of them in MD04 list). Beyond 1st september they are in trade off zone, in which MRP can modify them.
MRP types (VB in your case) have no correlation with these zones.

I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

I'm trying to burn a dvd from idvd but I keep getting error message, broken assets, but when I check my drop zones and their content there's no error messages on any of them?

Hi
And if You change view - in main "window/view field" so that You see the box-plot structure.
No exclamation marks there either ?
and non at the front page ?
iDVD do not copy Your material - only points to where it is stored. So if on any external hard disks, USB-memories, CDs or DVDs are missing - assetts are broken.
Or if You changed location of any material or directed iPhoto or iTunes or GarageBand to a new Library - Then iMovie/iDVD also get's lost.

Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder. I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders. However, I am unable to rename files and folders. No matter how long of
short of a name I use I get the following error:
"The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name."
I've mapped the "S" drive to http://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/
I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE. I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows
7. Therefore I assume this is a config issue.
Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.

Did some more testing. From my mapped drive, I can create new folders and files, and delete them. I created a folder in Windows Explorer, when I tried to give a name it gave me the above error and saved the folder as "New Folder". No matter when
I try, I cannot rename this folder unless I log into the SharePoint interface.
Next, I tried this from the command line. I moved to my S drive, and did a "mkdir test" and was able to create a folder named test. Next I tried to "rename test testing" and received the following error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The full path is S:\test. If I do a "mkdir testing" I am able to create the folder. If I try to rename the folder in Explorer, it gives me the "file name not valid or too long". I'm obviously well under the 260 character limit, so there
has to be something wrong with the fiel name, or drive mapping.
Also, when I "dir" the S drive it tells me the drive has no label. "Volume in drive S has no label."
I'm having the same issue with files. I can create a file, modify it, delete it, but can't rename it.

Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones?

Hi Champs,
Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones? Idea is to patch DEV-zones only on the system & test applications and then patch only the STG-zones on same server!
Not sure if it is possible but just throwing a question...
Cheers,
Nitin

Yes, if you have branded (non-sparse) zone!Branded zones and sparse zones don't have the relation that you imply. In Solaris 10, native zones can be sparse or whole-root (non-sparse, as you say). Zones that are not native zones are branded zones. Branded zones on Solaris 10 include Solaris Legacy Containers, previously known as Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers. That add-on product allows you to run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 application environments under a thin layer of virtualization provided by the brands framework. solaris8 and solaris9 branded zones can be patched independently of each other and of the global zone.
Solaris 11 has no "native zones" - all zones use the brands framework. The "solaris" brand does no emulation and in that respect is very similar to native zones on Solaris 10. Solaris 11 also provides Solaris 10 Zones via the solaris10 brand. This allows zones or the global zone from a Solaris 10 system to be transferred to a Solaris 11 system and run as solaris10 zones. When running on Solaris 11, solaris10 zones can each be patched independently from each other and the Solaris 11 global zone. Technically, Solaris 11 doesn't have patches - it just has newer versions of packages to which the system is updated.

To break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone

Hi folks
"to break out of a non-global zone and become root user in the global zone through a kernel bug exploit"
Is this possible and has SUN allready a fix/workaround/patch for that?
Cheers

Is it possible there's a bug in the kernel? Sure.
Someone would need to find and identify such a bug before it could be fixed. I've not heard of the discovery of a bug like this. You could check the bug database at www.opensolaris.org.

Can external users change their language, time zone, and locale settings?

Hi,
We’re migrating our hosts from WebEx cloud to our on-prem solution right now (CWMS 1.5.1.323.A).
We’ve learned that CWMS 1.5 does not provide an online address book where hosts could customize language, time zone, and locale settings for their external attendees.
Do external users have any chance at all to change their language, time zone and locale settings individually?
Thank you,
Helge

Hi Dejan,
"external users" are those participants, who do not have an LDAP account in our deployment, since they are not intendet to act as hosts: our stakeholders, partners, customers, clients.
It looks, as if these people would stick to the systems' default language / time zone / locale.
We are wondering if there might be a CWMS-component like this:
https://artcom.webex.com/cmp0307l/webcomponents/widget/preference.do?serviceType=MC&siteurl=artcom&target=Page&backUrl=%2Fmw0307l%2Fmywebex%2Fdefault.do%3Fsiteurl%3Dartcom%26service%3D1
to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
Thank you,
Helge

Rename, upload, and check-in

I am trying to find the correct sequence of code (using the IfsFileSystem API) which will check-out a versioned file, upload a renamed file, and check-it in resulting in the following versions:
Version 1. Original Filename.doc
Version 2. Renamed Filename.doc
The following code used to work in IFS 1.083.
IfsFileSystem.rename()
IfsFileSystem.checkOut()
IfsFileSystem.putDocument()
IfsFileSystem.checkIn()
However, this same code used against IFS 1.1 now results in the following versions:
Version 1. Renamed Filename.doc
Version 2. Renamed Filename.doc
I've tried re-ordering this sequence of code, but I receive a IFS-68005 error when attempting a putDocument before renaming the file.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Steve Probst
null

I think I've answered my own question. The following seems to work in IFS 1.1:
IfsFileSystem.checkOut()
/* use the OLD (Original Filename.doc
)filename here */
IfsFileSystem.putDocument()
/* rename to Renamed Filename.doc */
IfsFileSystem.rename()
IfsFileSystem.checkIn()
This will result in the desired:
Version 1. Original Filename.doc
Version 2. Renamed Filename.doc

Dedicating physical CPUs to a zone and migrating a Solaris 8 box to a zone?

If I have a machine with a large number of cores (say 24), and dedicate 4 of the CPUs to the zone, psrinfo shows the number of CPU's dedicated to that zone as 4, however, the global zone still shows 24.
Does this mean that if there's enough stuff running in global that it can preempt the stuff running inside the zone? The concern here is that the stuff we want to run in the zone is a bit more critical than in global, so we wouldn't want global to eat up CPU resources of the zone. (I suppose we could repurpose the stuff running inside global and the zone, but then we'd get the reverse isolation issue at some other point.)
The other questions is that there's an old E450 running Solaris 8 and it's got a bunch of stuff installed on it. Would it be possible to somehow convert all the software and data of that E450 into a container or zone and run that on a more modern machine - say a T5420 which runs Solaris 10 (without upgrading the stuff running under the E450 to Solaris 10?)

you can create a flar archive of the entire system and then import it as a solaris 8 zone. if you are doing this on a cool threads system, beware of the processor. it does well with threads. if what you run on the 450 is mostly single threaded or needs a decent cpu, the coolthreads servers are not a good fit.

Time Zone and WLS6SP1 and date time problem

Hi,
We are having our development WebLogic server on a Solaris 2.8 machine. The time
zone of that machine is GMT+5
How ever when we start weblogic in the telnet console, we see this
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.......
<Jul 5, 2001 1:19:46 AM GMT-05:00> <Info> <Security> <Getting boot password from
user.>
Enter password to boot WebLogic server:
It shows the time as GMT-5.
All our application client machines are at GMT+5.30.So when we update from our
application, the datetime fields go as one day lesser(we have our own serializable
component which does the updating). If i enter Dec 10 2000 in our applet client
and try updating, it goes as Dec 9 2000 into the database.
We tried on a NT machine which had GMT+5.30 as the time zone and it showed GMT+5.30
while starting weblogic. And the dates are updated properly.
Does WLS on Solaris take the timezone,etc from some other place?
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in Advance,
Ramkumar

We had the same thing using ReflectionX to connect. Users connection with Telnet
caused weblogic to log with the default timezone ( which included the effects of
daylight savings time ), while those users who connected with Rexec caused weblogic
to use GMT in its logging. This was with weblogic 6.0 sp2
