Running pppd inside a zone/container

People,
I'd like to know if it is possible to call out using pppd from insidea zone?
I have added the device cua0 to the zone and verified the modem working with
tip. Both in the global zone and my zone.
Running "pppd cua0 call myisp" works fine from the global zone, using the
standard pppd. But from inside a zone, it fails with an error message that the kernel lacks pppd support.
The goal is of course to have multiple ppp connections running simultaneously, separated from each other.
I've been hacking around, adding the device /dev/sppp to my zone as well, and it causes pppd to fail with permission problems.
Realizing that I am just using the trial-and-error method at this point, I hope that you can help me answering the following:
1) Is it possible at all, in the way described above?
2) If possible, can you please guide me how to set it up?
Thank you,
Magnus

This is most likely related to limitations about how virtualisation is implemented, but then again other virtualisation technologies also don't allow these kind of constructions luckily. And with Solaris 10 you also have a shared kernel and IP-stack (Sun is working on that) and trying to create interface from within a zone scares the daylight out of me. Also think how the routing needs to be controlled.
Safe way is to let the global zone handle it. Another way is to have a dedicated device for the network connections and this one is prefered in most cases.

Running WebSphere inside a zone

For anyone interested, I've been experimenting with setting up a WebSphere instance inside a zone. Progress to date is being documented here:
http://www.big-bubbles.fluff.org/blogs/bubbles/archives/000344.html
There are a few gotchas (clue: they're not in the Sun part of the software stack!).
To Sun: I got a bit tired of writing "global" and "non-global" zone. How about a new term for the latter, one that defines them in terms of what they are rather what they aren't? E.g. "child zones", "subzones"?
Also, many kudos on 10. It makes a nice change to feel this excited about a new Solaris release.
Cheers,

Just for grins and giggles I took a look at what could be done to get around the SYSDEF problem..... (until SUN fixes it in an upcoming release)
Using CPIO, (but other methods should probably work 2) copy "ksyms" and "kmem" from /dev/ in the global-zone to the "/zone/2/dev" directory for the local-zone in question. ( note: NOT the dev dir inside the local-zone). This gets you half-way there. [I guess these are actually mknod type operations that just come over as-part of the file-copy. ]
The next piece involved creating a "/devices/pseudo" subdir inside the zone, and copying in the "devinfo@0:devinfo* " devices into it.
Sysdef now seems pretty happy. (for the most part, although it complains a bit about swap etc.)
As far as the values it reports for the kernel etc. I defer to the people that know more about this to confirm their validity (in asfar as the ZONE inheriting these values....)
So what about the security implications of something like this? The creating of the "/devices/pseudo" subdir inside the local-zone should be "safe", since the local-root can do that themselves....
The kmem and ksyms copies into the "dev" directory (that sits outside the local-zone's dev") are probably a little more dicey... (read insecure...)
Either way, I guess something like this might get a slightly cleaner websphere install.... and one can (should) just remove the kmem and ksym entries afterwards...
This is just a short-term hack that may help with websphere and other progs. that have a sysdef dependency, until sydef works "stock" out of the box.
my 2 cents,

Sun Messaging Server message-store inside zone (container)

Hi Guys,
i'm running Sun Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 (64bit, sparc).
Do you now if message-store inside a zone is supported?
Thank's in advance!
Caius

Yes, it is supported. For more info see [Installing Communications Suite on Solaris Zones|http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite7/Installing+Communications+Suite+on+Solaris+Zones].

Inetd service/program crashes with core dump in Solaris 8 zone/container

I have developed a service in C that is launched from inetd when something comes on a specific port.
When a connection is opened to the port a core dump is created in the same directory where the executable file is located.
If you run the same service program from the command line everything is working perfect.
This is running in a Solaris 8 zone/container on a Solaris 10 machine.
Everything is set correctly in /etc/inetd.conf and in /etc/services.
I have even stripped down the program to a hello world program that is just printing a string to the screen and it is still crashing with a core dump.
# ldd test_srv
/usr/lib/secure/s8_preload.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/lib/libc_psr.so.1
The same service is running on a Linux machine and on a Solaris 10 machine without zones/containers without any problems.
Can you please help me figure out what am I missing. Is there something specific with zones/containers that should be set / configured?
Do I have to set some specific env. variables to work in a Solaris 8 zone/container environment or is it something very simple that I'm missing?

Could you please examine the truss log and advice what the problem is and how to fix it?

How to install MS Windows in a Solaris 10 Zone (Container)?

Hi:
I am a Windows expert because of my work but I am trying to get away from it at home while still being able to run Windows Applications in their native environment. So I read somewhere that is possible to install and run Windows in a Solaris 10 Zone (Container). Since I am not that experienced with Solaris a How-to guide to perform this task is greatly appreciated.
Regards

This is impossible. containers are only paravirtualization which is essentially
a solaris kernel pretending to be two machines.
You need a true virtualisation solution like vmware.
I don't vmware supports using solaris as a server. Only a client.

Run-time error '1004' -- Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed

Dear All,
One of our users is getting the following Microsoft Visual Basic error while running the report S_ALR_87013614.
Run-time error '1004'
Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed.
I have searched the forum posts for help. But I only found some details related to Run-time error 1004 related to some excel file security but not related to "Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed".
Could anyone please tell me how this error can be eliminated for the user?
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Dear Arpan,
We too observed a few PIDs along with the one that you have mentioned but they make no difference. Some users who has the PID G_RW_DOCUMENT_TYPE set with some value are getting the report.
Upon further searching we are assuming that it could be an issue with the Microsoft applications or macro settings of the user. But not sure about it.
Regards,

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Solaris Volume Manager metadisks inside a zone

Hi,
I am concidering depoying zones as part of my companies build standard.
What I would like to do is mount a disk slice inside the local zone for the purposes of application installation.
I am already proposing to mirror the internal disks.
Could I mirror the disk slice in the global zone, then mount the metadevice in side the local zone? or should I import the two disk slices and mirror them inside the zone?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Peter

What I would like to do is mount a disk slice inside
the local zone for the purposes of application
installation.You can mount them directly:
add fs
set dir=mount point
set special=/dev/md/dsk/dXXX
set raw=/dev/md/rdsk/dXXX
set type=ufs

Here is the CSS:

Div Element:

    height: 114px;

    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
#aemcSlider a {margin-right: -12px;}
Left & Right Buttons:
a.arrowLeft
    width: 29px;
    height: 96px;
    float:left;
    position:absolute;
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
    background-image: url(../Images/arrowLeft.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    left: 311px;
    top: 91px;
    opacity: 0;
a.arrowLeft:hover
background-image: url(../Images/arrowLeft.png);
opacity: 0.5;
a.arrowRight
    width: 29px;
    height: 96px;
    position:absolute;
    float:right;
    margin: 0 auto;
    display: block;
    background-image: url(../Images/arrowRight.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    opacity: 0;
    left: 720px;
    top: 92px;
a.arrowRight:hover
background-image: url(../Images/arrowRight.png);
opacity: 0.5;
Here are the things I've done to troubleshoot:
If I put the div element as an absolute container, the left button disapears.
I get the same effect when I change the position to relative.
I tried changing the position to relative for both buttons.
I also tried to position the buttons outside the Main Div container and no go.
How can I position the relative div element under these controller button?
Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Q : How to run debian inside of arch

Hi, I have a question
I really love arch, but the project i'm working on requires Debian (stable) meaning : old gcc(3.3.5), xfree86, debian tools, filesystem layout and so on.
I have a 2 (actually more) partitions one with debian, one with arch. Right now choose on boot one or another.
I'd like to run debian inside of arch, but not via VmWare or qemu or some other emulator because I need things to compile quick (this IS a big project) and run at native speed (really important)
Newer kernel in arch is not an issue(or at least shouldn't be) but versions of tools and libraries as well as file locations are critical.
Any ideas ?

Hi torindan2,
You should have a look to debootstrap. That way you would only need a chroot inside your debian tree, without the CPU and memory overhead of a virtual machine on top of your Archlinux.
Procedure (from what i remember) :
- go to packages.debian.org
- choose "debootstrap"
- download the source code of debootstrap (it is a shell script)
- call it with the right parameters (AFAIR it required to read the source, but it is quite readable)
- now debian is installed in the directory of your choice.
- chroot a shell inside that tree
- update the fstab for the proc and sys filesystems of the debian tree
and here you go, Debian inside Arch

TextFlow inside a Resizable Container

Hi,
I've been looking for a solution for an issue for a while and hope someone can help me here.
I have a TextFlow rendered in a Sprite. The sprite is inside a resizable container. When the container is resized, the new sprite size is update in the container controller. The problem is that the text is been deformed.
This is an image of the text before been scaled.
And this one is after been scaled:
I'm not changing the the font size or anything else, just width and height of the sprite.
Any ideas?

Here's more information about this issue.
When the parent container is scaled by the user, this is how I'm updating the TextFlow:
textFlow.flowComposer.removeAllControllers();
var newPageController:ContainerController = new ContainerController( container, w, h );
var controllerFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
newPageController.format = controllerFormat;
textFlow.flowComposer.addController( newPageController );
Any comments will be appreciated.

Use SMA to run commands inside VM created from WAP

Hello,
I didnt find any SMA specific forum, so I post here.
Im new to SMA and have a question that I cant find the answer to.
We are about to deploy a new Hyper-V/SC/WAP enviroment.
We use virtual networks and I have problem to connect and execute powershell on the virtual machines.
I want to do some cutomizations on the VM after they are deployed (Windows Server 2012R2) from a Gallery item in WAP.
In VM Clouds in Service Management Portal I have activated an Automation with Object = MicrosoftCompute VMRole and Action = Create.
In my Runbook I check the status on the creation of the VM and when the status is complete I want to execute some powershell on the new server.
So far so good, but here is my problem, I cant connect to the new VM.
I have tried:
$ComputerName = $ResourceObject.ComputerName
InlineScript {
Get-Service | Out-File “c:\test.txt”
} -PSComputerName $ComputerName
I have tired to add -PSCredential after -PSComputername aswell.
The Runbook will enter a Suspended state with the following exception:
Connecting to remote server Fredrik-Test failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following error occured while using Kerberos authentication: Cannot find the computer Fredrik-Test.
It looks like SMA have no clue how to access the new VM.
I went to the VMM server and ran the following script:
$adminpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString “xxxxx” -AsPlainText -Force
$adminCredentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential (“administrator”, $adminpasswd)
$VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq ‘Computer013′}
Invoke-Command -Computername $VM.ComputerName -ScriptBlock {Get-Service | Out-File “c:\test.txt”} -credential $adminCredentials
And there I got same error:
[Computer013] Connecting to remote server Computer013 failed with the following error message : The WinRM client cannot process the request because the server name canno
t be resolved. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (Computer013:String) [], PSRemotingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComputerNotFound,PSSessionStateBroken
How do I run commands inside the VM that is created from WAP in a Tenant cloud and use virtual network ?
Regards
Fredrik Ljus

I get same error.
Because I use Network Virtualization it looks like SMA or VMM cant find the VM.
But how does it work if you for example make a gallery item that will install SQL.
In that case the server will be installed from the original image with only the OS and then the SQL server will be installed after.
How does the VMM/SPF communicate with the VM to install the SQL server? Bacause when installing the SQL server it mounts a VHD with the media and trigger the install localy on the VM.
So, somehow it must be possible to communicate with the VM without using NAT and go through the Gateway server?
