Solaris 10 local zone setup requirement/steps for am/ps 7.0 installation

Hi,
Is there any document available on solaris 10 local zone creation/requirement for am server/ portal server 7.0 install? Any help/pointer is appreciated.
Thanks,

I don't believe there is any specific documentation am/portal in a zone. And as far as I know there are no specific requirements either. I have successfully installed portal in a solaris zone.
A good starter tutorial on zones is here: http://partneradvantage.sun.com/protected/solaris10/adoptionkit/tech/zones/tutorial.html

Setting a floating IP in a solaris local zone!!

I want to install my fault tolerant application in two different
solaris local zones just to save the hardware cost and for testing
purposes.
Earlier before solaris 10, My application runs on two different
machines and receives the incoming requests on a floating IP, thus it
achieves the Fault tolerant behavior with floating IP moving across
the machines on the active application.
There was a separate monitoring process on each machine which runs as
root user and sets and unsets the floating IP using ioctl system calls
on a particular machine as per request received from the application.
Now i want to replicate the same behaviour in solaris 10 setup with my
Fault tolerant application running on two local zones and my
monitoring process which runs on each local zone, set and unset the
floating IP on the particular local zone.
No i want to know that if it is possible for any application to set
floating IP on a particular local zone, from that zone itself and how
can we achieve the same?
regards,
rish

I gather some big changes are afoot with the IP stack and zones with the latest Solaris update (the 8/07, update 4 release) -- each zone either does or can have it's own IP stack.

That's correct. You can now use private IP instances for a non-global zone if you want. That zone will now have it's own IP stack and can up/down addresses or whatever. But for now they have to have their own dedicated "interface". This has to be an ethernet device or a VLAN device.

Yup. Even in the old editor it was inconsistent where worked. Some forums it would, but not all. I guess now it consistently doesn't work? :-)<br />

Oracle 9i Database and Solaris 10 Zones

Can an existing oracle 9i database be moved into a new zone? The database resides on it's own filesystem. The server is runnign Solaris 10, and the zones are not set up yet, but Oracle is installed, and the 2 databases are up and running.
Basically there are 2 existing oracle 9i databases, and I want to setup 2 zones, where none other than the default global exist right now, and have each database in a zone.
Thanks in advance.

You need to do the following -
Configure loopback mount points from the global zone into the local zone through zonecfg (one for Oracle binary, other for Oracle data). I am assuming that you want to share the same Oracle binary location between all the zones. The Oracle database mounts must be separate & make sure that you put them in the respective zone's config only.
Create an oracle user with dba group in both the zones. It's best if the user IDs & group IDs across all the zones & global zone match.
Stop both the database instances in the global zone.
zlogin to a zone, su as oracle and startup the instances.
Hope that works!

EDI Config steps for the IC sales invoice to post invoice receipts

Hi experts,
I need to setup EDI in which the Intercompany sales invoice in company A auto triggers the incoming invoice receipt posting in company B.
My scenario is as below:
1. Company C places a PO to Company B
2. Company B creates a sales order for Company C in which the delivering plant assigned belongs
to Company A.
3. Company A ships the parts directly to Company C
4. Company A bills intercompany B
5. Sales invoice created in step should auto create the incoming invoice receipt at Company B
6. Company B then bills Company C
I need to setup the above mentioned in step no:5.
Could you send me the configuration steps to establish the above?
Thanks for your great help !
Regards,
Pri

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for your reply. Since there is no PO in this step which are the only required steps for me to
proceed with?
We already have the steps in our system which works fine for PO based invoice receipts.
With the steps to be there already in the system, when I try to post the intercompany billing & if I add
RD04 manually for now for my testing, it says
"No entry in Outbound table not found"
"No Partner profile (Outbound parameter) could be found using the following key,
//SI3300 / KU / RE / INVOIC / FI
I do not know where this Partner type RE comes from. Do you have any idea?

Pri

Solaris 10U1 needs to be to patched to SunUC 1.0.4 for local zones support

The version of Sun UC integrated into S10u1 does not support systems with local zones configured. This has since been fixed but you first need to patch the system to upgrade to Sun UC 1.0.4. This can be done on a SPARC system as follows:
$ smpatch download -i 121118-06
$ smpatch add -i 121118-06
For X86 the patch is 121119-06.

This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

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?

Parameters maintenance for Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10 zone

Hi!
We use SAP Solution Manager 7.0 on Solaris 10 Zone with Oracle.
We have updated Oracle from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4.
What are the parameter recommendation for Oracle 10.2.4?
What is the approach to do this?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

> Does the SAP installation usually include the setup of oracle parameters?
partly.
> Is there some automatic report that check and set up the valeus to the rigtht values, e.g. according to SAP note 830576?
No. Many of those parameters (the events mainly) depend on specific patches that need to be installed to activate them. Did you apply all the interim patches for 10.2.0.4 or just that patch?
> What are the crucial/important parameters?
all of them are more or less important. Oracle is a complex beast.
> If not, what are the technical steps to do this manually?
You can use brtools to change them one by one - or write a script like the following. However, this implies that all single/interim/cumulative patches are installed, not only 10.2.0.4.
Check note 1137346 - Oracle Database 10g: Patches for Release 10.2.0.4 for the single patches and read all the linked notes to the patches so you can built your own script to set the parameters.
This is an example script for HP-UX but you could use a likewise one for Solaris:

      '10028 trace name context forever, level 1',

Solaris 10, local zone & vcs

Hi,
Anybody tried running vcs from within a solaris 10 sparse local zone?
We currently have two T2000' s each running Solaris 10 6/06. I've installed Veritas Foundation Suite 4.1 on each and configured vcs. The cluster is functioning with failover enabled & tested. (I have a test service group running consisting of a 'hello world' program sitting on a VRTS volume/diskgroup on a SAN). This is all running fine in the Global Zone.
As part of our requirement we want to be able to run vcs from within a local zone, hence my creation of a sparse zone. I would like full clustering functionality running from within a zone on one server with failover/switching to an equvialent zone on the the second server.
I have played with the 'zone' option when setting up service groups but not surprisingly this is for switching the whole zone. Not what I want to do.
Am I failing to grasp this whole sparse zone idea? or am I missing something obvious, trying something that cant be done? Any help, particularly from somebody else thats tried this would be appreciated.
Thansk in advance,
Mark

Hello,
I can't help you a lot, but i have found that there is a lot of things that a local zone can't do when it comes to "kernel" things. As of today i found that you do NFS from a zone, for example.
As your problem seems to be related to filesystem it is probable that you can't do it from a zone. Again, i'm not sure.

Local zones during global shutdown in Solaris 10

Hello,
I am trying to determine if issuing a shutdown command from the global zone, e.g. shutdown -g0 -i5 -y performs graceful shutdowns on any running local zones, or does it issue a halt to the local zones without running shutdown scripts in them. Searching the Solaris zones forum brings up some older discussions (pre 2010) where users reported a halt was done, but the expectation is this would be changed in later Solaris 10 patches or revisions. Has this ever been addressed? Is there a way to determine if a local zone has been halted or shutdown? What is the recommended way to perform a shutdown of a global zone, when local zones are running?
Thanks,

The global zone will run a "svcadm disable zones" for each zones and this corresponds to a "zoneadm shutdown" or "zoneadm halt". Both zoneadm command will use a "init 0" in each zone.
If you have a zone that requires a shutdown script to stopping for example a database gracefully, then you should run the shutdown inside each zone directly.

Network access from local zones on a Solaris 10 router

I'm kind of stuck at an interesting problem.
I have a Solaris 10u6 system which is itself a router between a number of networks.
It has several dozen routes to different networks via different next-hop gateways,
just one of which is a default route to the ISP to internet.
I thought of setting up local zones to securely run infrastructure services (BIND,
Squid, Mail relay) on this machine, with only a single dedicated public IP address
(from our delegated address space) per such zone. Zones use a shared-IP stack
on one of the machine's VLAN interfaces (the LAN part with public IP addresses).
The problem is - since this machine is the gateway for the subnet used for the
local zones, they don't inherit any default route. The one default we have to the
ISP is on another interface's subnet.
[root@ns8 /]# netstat -rn | grep default
[root@ns8 /]# netstat -rn | wc -l
50
On a side note, these zones do inherit dozens of other routes (50 above) with
next-hop routers not on the local zone's subnet - so these are also not accessible.
I think such useless routes should also be filtered away - as "mismatching" default
routes are.
Due to all this the zone has no networking outside its subnet/mask: it doesn't
even try to send anything, since there is not a single route with a matching next
hop router, i.e.
[root@ns8 /]# traceroute -nI 194.87.0.50
traceroute to 194.87.0.50 (194.87.0.50), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 xx.yy.zz.8 0.102 ms !H 0.032 ms !H 0.027 ms !H
To reiterate, this setup is different from that of the numerous replays of "How to
set up internet for zones with virtual IP addresses?"
That recipe suggests to add a fake router and maintain its ARP address to be
that of the real default gateway, and set up NAT to rewrite private IP addresses
to the global zone's public IP. While I've also used the recipe a number of times,
it does not seem feasible in this router's case - there are too many next-hop
routers (and learned with a dynamic routing protocol), not just one default-gw.
I can of course go back to running services in the global zone and binding them
to these dedicated public IP addresses via configuration files - and this works
since the global zone has access to any needed routers having IP addresses
in relevant subnets - but I hoped to secure the system a bit more and separate
routing from infrastructure tasks...
So the question is: how can I set up networking for local zones in this case
when they are running on a router? Is it possible?

You can set the Airport Extreme in "Bridge" mode, and then it will just extend the existing subnet.
Airport Utility -> Airport Extreme -> Internet -> Connection Sharing -> Off (bridge mode)

Can I setup two-step verification for more than one Apple ID?

I have one iPad and one iPhone.
I have four Apple IDs.
I want to setup two-step verification in all four accounts.
Can I?
It seems that I can't, because to add a "trusted device" to an Apple ID requires setting up Find My iPhone on that device. Find My iPhone requires an iCloud account (which is available with every Apple ID). But once you change the iCloud account account used for Find My iPhone on a device, the device will not be able to be used in two-step verification for the previous iCloud account. Or will it get remembered?
Anyone have any knowledge about this?

You should be able to have more than account authorised on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - and you should be able to select and sync purchases from both accounts to your phones

Solaris 10 zone config for one application

I have a Solaris 10 x86 server with 48GB of memory and 8 CPUs (although I believe hyperthreading is turned on because prsinfo shows 16 CPUs). The server is dedicated to one big application which spawns many processes/threads. Performance is extremely important for this application so I need to give it all of the resources possible.
I tried just allowing the application to run in the global zone because there's nothing else it will interfere with (aside from the OS) but I couldn't get it to utilize all of the CPUs this server has. My guess is the global zone is only designed for running the OS and playing traffic cop for the other zones, so it's not suited for running applications. Is that correct?
So my question is, assuming I do need to setup a dedicated zone for this monster application, how do I configure it to dedicate all CPUs and all memory (or as close to all of it as I can get)?
Also, is there some default limit on how much CPU % a process can have? Because I have tried getting one process to utilize 100% of a CPU and can't get anywhere near that... unless prstat doesn't display per CPU utilization information.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is that correct?No. Unless you have dedicated CPUs to zones (so they are not available to the global zone), or unless you're running under a project which restricts CPU usage, the global zone has access to all virtual CPUs.
Can you see your process spawning threads? How much CPU is it able to use?
Also, is there some default limit on how much CPU % a process can have? Because I have tried getting one process to utilize 100% of a CPU and can't get anywhere near that... unless prstat doesn't display per CPU utilization information.One thread can only use one CPU. So you'd either need to run 16 single threaded processes, or your process would need to spawn 16 threads that were CPU-heavy. No, there's no default limit on a process.

How to dynamically set max-rss size for a local zone?

Running solaris 10 05/08.
Following situation: Three local zones in a Veritas cluster. The zones
can fail over but normally not all three are on the same physical box.
I want to be able to restrict physical memory usage for the zones in
situations where certain combinations of them end up on the same
physical box. So, I need to be able to dynamically change memory
resources. I know how to do this with, for example locked memory:
prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory -r -v <mem> `pgrep -z <zone name>
init`
but i need to do this for physical memory and I can't see that there
is a zone resource for this? I thought this was added in 05/08?

Hi
You can do this by using rcapd from the global zone
- start rcapd from the global zone:
svcadm enable svc:/system/rcap:default
- set a physical memory caping value for each zone
rcapadm -z your_zone -m max_rss_value
- check the memory use for all the zone capped
rcapstat -gz
You can set the rss capping value in the zone configuration:
# zonecfg -z your_zone
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> add capped-memory
zonecfg:busi-app-prod:capped-memory> set physical=900m
zonecfg:busi-app-prod:capped-memory> end
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> verify
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> commit
zonecfg:busi-app-prod> exit
This will be take in account at the next reboot of this zone.
Have a also a look to rcapadm to tune rcapd
Bye
