Resource Requirement for a global zone

Hi All,
We are going to deploy Solaris container in our environment. However, we hope know if there any guideline for the resource requirement for setup the global zone. In other words, what are the min cpu / memory should be set assigned to the global zone?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

You don't need to worry about defending the global zone. The design of the pool_default pool includes safeguards that prevent starvation by other pools. The most obvious is the zone strategy itself; there's no way to allocate all the physical memory to a zone before the kernel itself has pinned down what it needs.
I think it would make better sense to allocate some (large) percentage of memory to the Oracle container and adjust as needed, rather than try and lock every bit of it. Maybe 14 GB and see how that works. I can think of any number of annoyances you might encounter by trying to lock down more memory than is actually available.

  • Separate private ip addresses for non-global zones

    I'm testing zones on one of our administrative servers and I'm wondering about the following scenario.
    Zones can easily run away with a lot of ip addresses and I decided to try this. The machine has, in its global zone, a standard private address in the admin (192.168.129.0) segment on hme0. I have also given it another address, 192.168.229.1, configured on hme0:1 which I intend to be the defaultrouter for non-global zones.
    Zone 1 has as its primary address 192.168.229.10, and I have tried to set the default router to 192.168.229.1 by various methods based on what I have read in here., including adding that address to the defaultrouter file in the global zone.
    Zone 2 has 192.168.229.20 as its primary address and is intended to have the same default of 192.168.229.1.
    So far I've not been able to make this work . Am I barking up the wrong tree?
    TIA

    Sorry for the late reply.
    So if I understand correctly, you want to put all your zones in a dedicated IP network (192.168.229.0/24).
    To do this, you don't need to configure the global zone as default gateway for the zones (which doesn't work, as you noticed). You want to indicate to the zones that they can reach the other network (192.168.129.0/24) just by sending packets on hme0. To do so, you need to create interface routes in every zone:
    # route add net 192.168.129.0/24 192.168.229.10 -interface(same for Zone 2, etc.)
    The global zone then needs to advertise itself as gateway for the 192.168.229.0/24 network to the other hosts. I think in.routed(1M) can do this using special configuration in the gateways(4) file, but I don't know how. Otherwise, if you can administer the real router that the other hosts use, you can add a static route: destination 192.168.229.0/24, gateway [global zone IP].
    hope this helps,
    Blaise

  • 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?

    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.

  • Persistent Resource Config in Non-global Zones

    I'm trying to figure out how I can make zone-based resource allocations persist across reboots.
    For instance I'm trying --
    #prctl -s -t privileged -n zone.max-shm-memory -v 1024MB -i zone z01After making this change, the configuration is verified via prctl. However, it doesn't persist across reboots of the zone.
    The project file (/etc/project) is for project SRM configs -- can I put in zone configuration in it. If so, how?

    The problem being described was config in the global zone.
    However the fix i found out was to put these entries in the zonecfg of the NGZ being configured.
    Example --
    add rctl
    set name=zone.max-swap
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=536870912,action=deny)
    end
    add rctl
    set name=zone.max-locked-memory
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=268435456,action=deny)
    end
    add rctl
    set name=zone.cpu-shares
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=4,action=none)
    end
    add rctl
    set name=zone.max-sem-ids
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=256,action=deny)
    end
    add rctl
    set name=zone.max-shm-ids
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=100,action=deny)
    end
    add rctl
    set name=zone.max-shm-memory
    add value (priv=privileged,limit=4294967296,action=deny)

  • How do I know what is the minimum resource requirement for OLAP 11g?

    How do I know for OLAP 11gR1 ...
    1. what is the minimum number of CPUs and speed required
    2. how much minimum physical memory, SGA, PGA etc. is required?
    Regards, Anirban

    Hello Anirban,
    In summary, since the OLAP option is an option to Oracle Database 11g, Enterprise Edition the minimum requirements in order to run the database would be identical to those necessary to run a "Data Warehousing" type installation. That being said starting up a database is a far cry from actually performing well while accessing and building OLAP Cubes in your Database.
    There are lots of things to consider. For example: the complexity of your model; data sparcity; level of aggregation; system load, SLAs, etc..
    Lets look at true minimum requirements and then consider what it would take to achieve good performance in your environment
    TRUE MINIMUM...
    I performed a test in my environment (Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2.0) on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5) using Analytic Workspace Manager 11.2.0.2.0A and found the following minimum settings to work against the OLAPTRAIN schema (You may find it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/olap/index.html). This is a very small schema which we use for demonstration purposes.
    I discovered that the database started with a memory_target of only 160m (apparently this is the absolute minimum for my environment). I knew that if the database successfully started that I would be able to query the Cube but maintain it? Running queries against the OLAPTRAIN Sales Cube, despite being slow, worked as anticipated. Next, I performed a maintain operation on the Sales Cube where I had to abort the job because it ran into memory issues at 160m, however, when I increased it to only 180m it did a complete maintain in a reasonable timeframe, albeit slow considering the limited resources.
    MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE REASONABLE PERFORMANCE IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT
    Most importantly ensure you have a good cube design
    Run a sample set of your data in order to define what "reasonable performance" is for your environment. Create a small representative cube in order to test both build and query performance while collecting and analyzing database statistics through AWR and ADDM. For OLAP option specific queries please take a look at http://wiki.oracle.com/page/OLAP+option+-DBASample+Scripts.
    You could creat a view on top of your fact table and use the view to generate your OLAP Cube. This will allow you to test a more manageable amount of data. For example, if you have 10 years of data and want to determine the footprint and resources required in order to manage a Cube of this volume then consider scoping it down to a few months first then increase it by a measured amount in order to predict requirements. Monitor your resources and ensure you balance I/O, memory and processors. Since the OLAP option is a Enterprise Edition option it falls under Data Warehousing. As such there is plenty of literature available on oracle.com in order to define what it takes to achieve a balanced Data Warehouse.
    I would recommend contacting Oracle Consulting or an Oracle Partner to determine the best fit for your environment.

  • Port required for DNS Integrated Zone replication

    Hello,
    you wrote "inside this segment I have a Windows 2012 R2 DNS Server that also hosts AD integrated zones"

  • Sun cluster 3.20, live upgrade with non-global zones

    I have a two node cluster with 4 HA-container resource groups holding 4 non-global zones running Sol 10 8/07 u4 which I would upgrade to sol10 u6 10/8. The root fileystem of the non-global zones is ZFS and on shared SAN disks so that can be failed over.
    For the LIve upgrade I need to convert the root ZFS to UFS which should be straight forward.
    The tricky stuff is going to be performing a live upgrade on non-global zones as their root fs is on the shared disk. I have a free internal disk on each of thenodes for ABE environments. But when I run the lucreate command is it going put the ABE of the zones on the internal disk as well or can i specifiy the location ABE for non-global zones. Ideally I want this to be shared disk
    Any assistance gratefully received

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether this document:
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/BluePrints/Maintaining+Solaris+with+Live+Upgrade+and+Update+On+Attach

    If you click on the download link, it won't work. But if you use the Tools icon on the upper right hand corner and click on attachements, you'll find the document. Its content is solely based on configurations with ZFS as root and zone root, but should have valuable information for other deployments as well.

  • Non-Global Zones - how can I tell what the Global Zone is

    Hi,
    I have a host that I know is a non-global zone (ngz). I can ssh to the ngz as root or a non-privileged user.
    But once there how do I know what the host name for the global zone is?
    I could probably run a script from all global zones to report all running zones and so I'd know that way but I have a specific need to know from inside the ngz.
    Thanks!

    I had some hope that there was a way to 'see' at least the global-zone information from the zone. From the shell the 'zone' commands are available ..
    :# zoneadm list -cv
    ID NAME             STATUS         PATH                         
    48 hostname_svn   running        /  So it's at least aware that it is a zone, even if it can't tell me anything else about itself. I can still go the long way around to get the information for my need, thanks.
    The global zone is the only thing that can see everything. The non-global zones can only see information specific to their zone.
    This is by design and it really is a security mechanism. You don't want the zones running outside of their boundaries and information about the global zone (or any other zone) is outside the boundaries of a non-global zone.

  • Unexpected behavior: Solaris10 , vlan , ipmp, non-global zones

    I've configured a System with several non-global zones.
    Each of them has ip - connection via a seperate vlan (1 vlan for each nonglobal zone). The vlans are established by the global zone. They are additionally brought under control of ipmp.
    I followed the instructions described at:
    http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=21225&messageID=59653#59653
    to create the defaultrouters for the non-global zones.
    In addition to that, I've created the default route for the 2nd ipmp-interface. (to keep the route in the non-global Zone in case of ipmp-failover)
    ie:
    route add default  172.16.3.1 -ifp ce1222000
    route add default  172.16.3.1 -ifp ce1222002Furthermore, i' ve put the 172.16.3.1 in the /etc/defaultrouter of the global zone, to ensure it will be the 1st entry in the routing table (because it's the defaultrouter for the global zone)
    Here the unexpected:
    Tried to reach a ip-target ouside the configured subnets, say 172.16.1.3 , via icmp. The router 172.16.3.1 knows the proper route to get it. The 1st tries (can't remember the exact number) went through ce1222000 and associated icmp-replies travelled back trough ce1222000. But suddenly the outgoing interface changed to ce1322000 or ce1122000 ! The defaultrouters configured on these vlans are not aware of the 172.16.1.3 (172.16.1.0/24), and there was no answer. The defaultroutes seemed to be "cycled" between the configured.
    Furthermore the connection from the outside to the nonglobal-zones (wich do have only 1 defaultrouter configured: the one of the vlan the non-global Zone belongs to) was broken intermittent.
    So, how to get the combination of VLAN ,IPMP, diff. defaultrouters, non-global Zones running?
    Got the following config visible in the global zone:

  • Enable gdm in Solaris 11 non-global zone

    I am trying to enable gdm in a fresh solaris 11 NGZ. I installed slim_install and solaris-desktop. gdm will not start, and shows the following:
    # svcs -xv gdm
    svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default (GNOME Display Manager)
    State: offline since Thu Jun 14 10:56:54 2012
    Reason: Service svc:/system/hal:default is in an invalid state.
    See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE
    Path: svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
    svc:/system/hal:default
    Reason: Service svc:/system/dbus:default is temporarily disabled.
    See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-GE
    Path: svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
    svc:/system/dbus:default
    See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1m gdm
    Impact: This service is not running.
    # svcs -xv dbus
    svc:/system/dbus:default (D-BUS message bus)
    State: disabled since Thu Jun 14 12:47:15 2012
    Reason: Temporarily disabled by an administrator.
    See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-1S
    See: man -M /usr/man -s 1 dbus-daemon
    See: /var/svc/log/system-dbus:default.log
    Impact: 2 dependent services are not running:
    svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
    # uname -a
    SunOS test-host 5.11 11.0 sun4v sparc sun4v
    I gather from reading other threads that dbus will not run in a NGZ, so how can I get gnome desktop manager to start?

    Hello,
    if you still have not got any answer from oracle support like us, perhaps i can give you a hin to fix this ...
    First we changed /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    [xdmcp]
    Enable=true
    Then we changed smf service layout for svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
    We deleted dependencies for hal, consolekit and dbus in /lib/svc/manifest/application/graphical-login/gdm.xml
    After that we started gdm service, but it failed. THe gdm-binary needs a socket from dbus ...
    So we modified dbus start script.
    Just comment check for "non-global zone" out in /lib/svc/method/svc-dbus
    #if smf_is_nonglobalzone; then
    # /usr/sbin/svcadm disable -t svc:/system/dbus
    # echo "dbus-daemon cannot be run in non-global zones"
    # sleep 5 &
    # exit $SMF_EXIT_OK
    #fi
    then start dbus service and gdm service ...
    hope that helps...
    Just contact Oracle to deliver update for you !
    thanks
    Christian
