Sol10 SC3.2 Zones and ZFS

I have a recently built cluster of 2 v240s (fusion03 and fusion04) running Solaris 10 08/07 with Sun Cluster 3.2 using an external Quorum Server to support failover of zones. Currently there are 2 zones (admin01 and admin02) configured as separate resource groups, each of which has a LogicalHostname and HAStoragePlus resource defined. I can bring up the zones on either node and failover the RG to the other node. However, there are two problems that I have not been able to resolve:
1. If I have the zone up and running on fusion03 and failover the RG to fusion04 using clrg switch -n fusion04 RG-admin01, the zpool, ip and zone move to fusion04 as expected, however zoneadm list -cv on fusion03 still shows it up and running - even though zpool list and ifconfig -a show that the zpool and ip are no longer available on fusion03.
2. When both nodes are booted, the zones do not automatically startup. Also, if failover occurs with the zone down, the RG fails over correctly, but the zone does not start. I have to manually boot the nodes in each case.
Here are the resource and resource group configs:
root@fusion04 # clrg list -v
Resource Group      Mode                Overall status
RG-admin01          Failover            online
RG-admin02          Failover            online
root@fusion04 # clresource list -v

DSK-admin02         SUNW.HAStoragePlus:6     RG-admin02

to me (and yeah i could well be wrong) it looks like you're refering to failover zones so you'd need a failover zone resource in the group as well, created with sczbt_register (maybe, maybe you like typing really long commands).
i've got a few failover zones that have resources like this (this one's empty at the moment, just a failover address, ZFS storage and zone).

  • HASP and ZFS

    Hi All,
    I'm using clustered zones and ZFS and I get these messages below.
    Is this something that I need to be worried about ?
    Have I missed something when I created the resource which actually
    is configured "by the book"?
    Will HAStoragePlus work as expected?
    Can I somehow verify that the zpool is monitored?

  • SFTP chroot from non-global zone to zfs pool

    Hi,
    I am unable to create an SFTP chroot inside a zone to a shared folder on the global zone.
    Inside the global zone:
    I have created a zfs pool (rpool/data) and then mounted it to /data.
    I then created some shared folders: /data/sftp/ipl/import and /data/sftp/ipl/export
    I then created a non-global zone and added a file system that loops back to /data.
    Inside the zone:
    I then did the ususal stuff to create a chroot sftp user, similar to: http://nixinfra.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/openssh-chroot-sftp-setup-in-linux.html
    I modifed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and hard wired the ChrootDirectory to /data/sftp/ipl.
    When I attempt to sftp into the zone an error message is displayed in the zone -> fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory /data/
    Multiple web sites warn that folder ownership and access privileges is important. However, issuing chown -R root:iplgroup /data made no difference. Perhaps it is something todo with the fact the folders were created in the global zone?
    If I create a simple shared folder inside the zone it works, e.g. /data3/ftp/ipl......ChrootDirectory => /data3/ftp/ipl
    If I use the users home directory it works. eg /export/home/sftpuser......ChrootDirectory => %h
    FYI. The reason for having a ZFS shared folder is to allow separate SFTP and FTP zones and a common/shared data repository for FTP and SFTP exchanges with remote systems. e.g. One remote client pushes data to the FTP server. A second remote client pulls the data via SFTP. Having separate zones increases security?
    Any help would be appreciated to solve this issue.

    Hi,
    I want to do IPC between inter-zones ( commnication between processes running two different zones). So what are the different techniques can be used. I am not interested in TCP/IP ( AF_INET) sockets.Zones are designed to prevent most visibility between non-global zones and other zones. So network communication (like you might use between two physical machines) are the most common method.
    You could mount a global zone filesystem into multiple non-global zones (via lofs) and have your programs push data there. But you'll probably have to poll for updates. I'm not certain that's easier or better than network communication.

  • Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs?

    Does Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs/processes?
    Information:
    I've installed Solaris 10 (10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC, Assembled 16 September 2009) on a half dozen servers and every one of them no longer mount swap at boot.
    The install program commented out the old swap entry and created this one:
    # grep swap /etc/vfstab
    swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
    Everything works like a champ. I didn't discover the issue until I tried to install some patches and the install failed. It didn't fail because of lack of swap - it refused to run because it found "No swap devices configured".
    Here are the symptoms:
    # swap -s
    total: 183216k bytes allocated + 23832k reserved = 207048k used, 13600032k available
    # swap -l

    Hi Nitabills,
    I assume that you create a zfs entry for swap with the commande zfs create -V $size
    did you launch the command :
    swap -a /dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap
    Try this entry below in the vfstab :
    /dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap - - swap - no -

  • Snapshot zone and dataset

    Hi,
    I (try !!) to manage a X86-64 solaris computer. and I want to create à snapshot in a secondary zone..
    That zone exist is ready and booted and I can login on it. So I use zfs snapshot koonytan/root/datatank to create the snapshot. And I got an error saying that there is no dataset for the snapshot. OK
    I search for dataset and found in an oracle/sun documentation, that I have to use zonecfg to create the data set :
    zonecfg -z koonytank
    zonecfg:zion> add dataset
    zonecfg:zion:dataset> set name=koonytank/root/dataset
    zonecfg:zion:dataset> end
    verrify, commit exit : no error.
    Then I reboot the zone with zoneadm and I get en error "the zone koonytank" could not be verify. and the zone don't boot.
    I have to remove the dataset declaration to reboot the zone.
    So my question is : How to declare a dataset. I have heard of a flag in the global zone that will be inherited by the zone but I found nothing on that.
    I thank you in advance

    Why do we require the reverse relation of rsign type 'A', what is the use of that?
    So that all HR objects are linked in both way... depending on your reporting need you could start looking at org. structure from the bottom (e.g. from employee point of view) or top (Org. unit point of view)....
    E.g, if you want to find the position of a given employee, better use the relation P->S (bottom up) than O->S->P (top bottom)since positon is not known...
    What is sclas in hrp1001 field for??? Should it be 'O' for all, shall I use all these 6 fields, in the select query , if i chose to solve my problem by select queries???
    Well why not just looking at his description ("Type of related object")....
    Object O can be linked to another object O (then OTYPE = "O" and sclas = "O") -> this is the case of your zone/region...
    But object O can be linked to an object S (position) (so OTYPE = "O" and SCLAS = "S") ....
    to summary:
    - SCLAS has the same meaning than OTYPE but for the linked object
    - SOBID has the same meaning that OBJID but for the linked object
    Let's say you want to check if relation exists between zone and region:
    SELECT count(*) FROM HRP1001
    WHERE OTYPE = 'O'
         AND OBJID = ID(Region)
         AND PLVAR = '01'
         AND SUBTY = 'B0002'   "(= concatenation of RSIGN and RELAT)
         AND ISTAT = '1'   "Active
         AND SCLAS = 'O'
         AND SOBID = ID(region).

    I read in a tutorial that when you create a zpool you need to specify an empty hard disk, is that correct?
    No.
    You can use partions/slices instead. A zone storage pool is composed of one or more devices; each device can be a a whole disk, disk slice or even a file if i remember correctly ( .... but you really dont want to use a file normally).
    Please point me on the best approach to create zones using zfs pools.
    RegardsYour storage rpool is 68GB in size on a 72GB disk .... therefore the disk is full up and their is no space for another zfs pool. If zpool status shows your disk is mirrored by zfs that is that. Otherwise you may choose to create a storage pool on the other disk (not best production practice).
    often one creates a zfs filesystem out of an existing filesystem.
    zfs create -o mountpoint=/zones rpool/zones
    zfs create rpool/zones/myzone
    Then use zonepath=/zones/myzone creating the zone.

  • Zones on zfs question

    Hi,
    I'm running solaris 10 update 8 with the latest patch cluster installed. I also have one non-global zone running on the system. Here is how things are setup.
    The filesystems
    zfs create -o canmount=noauto rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones
    zfs create -o canmount=noauto rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones/nonGlobalZone
    zfs set mountpoint=/zones rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones
    zfs set mountpoint=/zones rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones/nonGlobalZoneThen I configured and installed the zone. Everything is running fine, except I noticed that the two zfs filesystems I created do not show up when I run df. They do show up with a zfs list though. If I run zfs get all, I notice that the two filesytems are listed as not mounted. How is it that my zone is running if the filesystem is showing up as not mounted?
    Here is the output from zfs get all
    rpool/ROOT                                             mounted               no                     -
    rpool/ROOT/10_U8                                   mounted               yes                    -
    rpool/ROOT/10_U8/var                             mounted               yes                    -
    rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones                         mounted               no                     -
    rpool/ROOT/10_U8/zones/nonGlobalZone  mounted               no                     -
    Here is the zoneadm list output
      ID NAME             STATUS     PATH                           BRAND    IP   
       0 global           running    /                              native   shared
       1 nonGlobalZone         running    /zones/nonGlobalZone                native   shared

    I'm relatively new to zones, but my guess is that the zones were created in the root partition, under /zones. If you cd into a directory under /zones and do a df, it probably will show that you are still under the / root partition.In my experience with ZFS, I have found that if I forget to mount a ZFS filesystem, the contents end up under /root (and sometimes fill it up, which the system does not like...).

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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...

    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.

    Is this possible and has SUN allready a fix/workaround/patch for that?

    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:

    to allow those "extenal" participants to make their adjustments.
    Thank you,

  • 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

    How are you starting up your server? We had a similar situation at our
    site, and
    it was due to the fact that we were using exceed to log into our sun box.
    Exceed
    was grabbing the users timezone info off of his/her local windows box.
    is this what is happening for you?
