Updatemanager smpatch and zones

Has anyone seen an official published response from Sun on the problems encountered when trying to update a system with zones installed? I would like to know what their official recommendation is and when they intend on issuing a fix. There are many postings and discussions on this topic, but I have not seen any reference to anything "official". This issue is a very serious matter for admins needing to keep systems up to date.

From the FAQ at - http://www.sun.com/service/sunupdate/faq.html
Q.
Can I use Sun Update Connection 1.0, System Edition on a Solaris 10 system that has zones installed?
A.
Yes, but Sun Update Connection only provides partial support for systems that have non-global zones installed.
* Supports the sconadm, smpatch analyze, and smpatch download commands, and the Sun Update Manager registration and analysis features in the global zone only.
The Sun Update Connection web application, the Sun Update Manager application, and the smpatch analyze command can be used to perform an update analysis of the global zone.
* Does not support the smpatch update, smpatch add, and smpatch remove commands, or the install and remove features of the Sun Update Manager application or the Sun Update Connection web application.
Note that you can use the patchadd and patchrm commands to install and remove updates from global zones as well as from non-global zones. The patchadd and patchrm commands fully support Solaris 10 systems that have zones installed.

Patchadd and zones??

I feel dumb asking this question especially since I think its due to my lack of knowledge with zones. I am using Solaris 10 with only a global zone, at least thats what I think? I ran a "zoneadm list" and only listed "global".
I have downloaded uwc [yes I posted something similar on the JMS forum] patch 118540-42 and have tried to add it with patchadd. I get an error saying " Package SUNWuwc from directory SUNWuwc in patch 118540-42 is not installed on the system" and the patch does not install [I can not see it with showrev -p nor in /var/sadm/patch]. I also tried the "-G" option but no difference.
Then I tried using Solaris Management Console 2.1 using its patch tool. Action -> add patch and I get an error saying "Some or all of the software packages that patch 118540-42 patches are not installed on the target host.".
So I decided to look for SUNWuwc with pgkinfo and there is no listing, in fact none of the Java comm suite is found [nor most of the stuff in /opt and /usr/local ]. Yet I know JES is all in /opt and is working fine. I have never created a zone on this system and thought I had installed everything to just a global zone. I have had this system running for over a year and some updates have happened [just not sure what changed].
So I am wondering is there another way to add patches with Sol 10? another flag or utility? Is there a way to know what zone one is working in? or has installed stuff to. Is there a way at this point to stop using zones altogether?
Maybe I am missing a Sol 10 patch?
I had also run into a file /var/sadm/install/gz-only-packages and sure enough all my installed packages were listed here [all the JES stuff and web server etc]. I thought this meant "global zone only" and I only have a global zone??? so why can I not patch??
Apologies for the confusion [and lack of more details], although I have worked with Solaris for years this new 10 version and zones is a bit confusing for me. Plus the problem might not be zones related at all :^)
Thanks in Advance

try zoneadm list -vc
this shows all zones on the system, whether they are configured, running or not running.
Next, try to get the 10-recommended patches from sunsolve.sun.com and add those, but do it in single-user mode.

Smpatch and Sun Update Manager BROKEN - Solaris 10 Sparc

Since the installation of patch 121118-12, smpatch and Sun Update Manager (SUM) 1.0.9 are completely broken for myself and many, many other Solaris 10 users. Numerous significant bugs are listed in the release notes for the client:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/hub_articles/sc_update_rn.jsp
smpatch analyze and download seems to work, but the system completely hangs on smpatch update, every time. During the hang, smpatch/SUM-related processes are duplicated. This is not mentioned in the release notes.
Here is the results of "ps -ef | grep patch" when smpatch update hangs upon patch install:
username 1365 1 0 18:39:38 ? 0:10 /usr/bin/java -jar /usr/lib/patch/swupna.jar

root 2275 2266 0 18:45:34 ? 1:20 /usr/bin/java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/cc-ccr/lib com.sun.patchpro.cli.Patc
Note the duplicated smpatch and java processes. This is a networked, stand-alone system. Killing the secondary smpatch and java -Djava.lib... processes stops the hang, but always results in installation failure for at least one patch.
Other than "killing hung processes and retry" as given in the release notes (bogus), what are good workarounds for the smpatch bug(s), which have severely impacted my system? When will Sun release a new SUM client? The current version is completely hosed.

Thank you VERY much for your reply. I really appreciate your help.
Yes, smpatch works fine without patch 121118-12 installed (121118-10 is now my current smpatch level).

EBS 7.4 with ZFS and Zones

The EBS 7.4 product claims to support ZFS and zones, yet it fails to explain how to recover systems running this type of configuration.
Has anyone out there been able to recover a server using the EBS software, that is running with ZFS file systems both in the Global zone and sub zones (NB: The servers system file store / /usr /var, is UFS for all zones).

IPMP configuration and zones - how to?

Hello all,
So, I've been thrown in at the deep end and have been given a brand new M4000 to get configured to host two zones. I have little zone experience and my last Solaris exposure was 7 !
Anyway, enough of the woe, this M4000 has two quad port NICs, and so, I'm going to configure two ports per subnet using IPMP and on top of the IPMP link, I will configure two v4 addresses and give one to one zone and one to the other.
My question is, how can this be best accomplished with regards to giving each zone a different address on the IPMP link.
IP addresses available = 10.221.91.2 (for zone1) and (10.221.91.3 for zone2)
So far, in the global zone I have
ipadm create-ip net2 <-----port 0 of NIC1
ipadm create-ip net6 <-----port 0 of NIC2
ipadm create-ipmp -i net2,net6 ipmp0
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.221.91.2/24 ipmp0/zone1
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.221.91.3/24 ipmp0/zone2
the output of ipmpstat -i and ipmpstat -a is all good. I can ping the addresses from external hosts.
So, how now to assign each address to the correct host. I assume I'm using shared-ip?
in the zonecfg, do I simply (as per [this documentation|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1460/z.admin.task-54.html#z.admin.task-60] ):
zonecfg:zone1> add net
zonecfg:zone1:net> set address=10.221.91.2
zonecfg:zone1:net> set physical=net2
zonecfg:zone1:net> end
and what if I have many many addresses to configure per interface... for example zone1 and zone2 will also require 6 addresses on another subnet (221.206.29.0)... so how would that look in the zonecfg?
Is IPMP the correct way to be doing this? The client wants resilience above all, but these network connections are coming out of different switches thus LACP/Trunking is probably out of the question.
Many thanks for your thoughts... please let me know if you want more information
Solaris11 is a different beast altogether.

added link to the Solaris IPMP and zones doc

Thanks for the reply....
It still didn't work... but you pointed me in the right direction. I had to remove the addresses I had configured on ipmp0 and instead put them in the zonecfg. Makes sense really. Below I have detailed my steps as per your recommendation...
I had configured the zone as minimally as I could:
zonepath=/zones/zone1
ip-type=shared
net:
address: 10.221.91.2
physical=ipmp0
but after it is installed, I try and boot it and I get:
zone 'zone1': ipmp0:2: could not bring network interface up: address in use by zone 'global: Cannot assign the requested address
So, I changed the ip-type to exclusive and I got:
WARNING: skipping network interface 'ipmp0' which is used in the global zone.
zone 'zone1': failed to add network device
which was a bit of a shame.
So, finally, I removed the addresses from ipmp0
ipadm delete-addr ipmp0/zone1
ipadm delete-addr ipmp0/zone2
and set the address in zonecfg together with the physical=ipmp0 as per your recommendation and it seems to be working.
So, am I correct in taking away from this that if using IPMP in shared-ip zones, don't set the address in the global zone, but stick it in the zone config and everyone is happy?
I think this was the only way to achieve multiple IP addresses on one interface but over two ports?
Lastly, why oh why is the gateway address in netstat -rn coming up as the address of the host?
Anyway, thanks for your help.
;)

Default gateways and zones in a multihomed system

We do have some problems concerning default routes and zones in a multihomed system.
I found several posts in this forum, most of them referring to a domument of meljr, but my feeling ist that the paper is either not correct or not applicable to our situation?! Perhaps somebody can give me a hint.
Let me sketch our test environment. We have a multihomed Solaris 10 system attached to three different DMZ's using three different network adapters. We set up two local zones with IP's of the DMZ's of adapter 1 and 2, leaving adapter 0 for the IP of the global zone.
Now we set up default routes to ensure that network traffic from the local zones is routed in the corresponding DMZ's. That makes three different default routes on the global zone. On startup of the local zones, netstat reports the expected default routes to the correct DMZ gateways inside each zone.
Now what happens... My ssh to the global zone sometimes breaks. When this happens, no pings are possible to the IP of the global zone. Meanwhile, pings from other machines in our network (even from different subnets) might produce replies, some don't. By now, I can't tell you if there's is anything deterministic about it... More interesting: the local zone connections aren't affected at all!
So we did some more testing. Binding an IP address to the DMZ interfaces where the zones are tied to makes no difference (we tried both, with or without dedicated addresses for the adapter in the global zone). So the setup we're using right now is made of 5 IP addresses.
IP1, subnet 1: adapter 0, global zone
IP2, subnet 2: adapter 1, global zone
IP3, subnet 2; adapter 1. local zone 1
IP4, subnet 3; adapter 2, global zone
IP5, subnet 3; adapter 2, local zone 2
In the global zone there are three default gateways defined, one in each DMZ subnet. Inside the local zones, at startup you'll find the corresponding gateway into the DMZ. Everything looks fine...
I opened five ssh connections to the different IP's. Now what happened... After approx. half an hour, the connections to two IPs of the global zone (adapter 0 and adapter 1) broke down, while the connections to all other IP's were still open. This behaviour can be reconstructed!
So perhaps anybody has a explaination for this behaviour. Or perhaps anybody can answer me some qustions:
1. How are the three default gateways handled? Is there still some kind of "round robbin" implemenation? How can I guarantee that network traffic from outside isn't routed inside the DMZ's without preventing the local zones from talking to each other (actually we only need to communicate on some ports, but the single IP-stack concept only gives us all or nothing...).
2. If I do a ping from local zone 1 to the default gateway of local zone 2, this route is added as additional default gateway inside local zone 1! So does this mean, the routing decision is made only inside the global zone not taking into account where the packet is sent from?
3. After all, how are the IP packets routed from the different zone and the global zone, and how are they routed back to calling systems from the various DMS's and other networks, routed via these DMS's???
The scenario seems to be covered by http://meljr.com/~meljr/Solaris10LocalZoneDefaultRoute.html, but configuring the machine like stated in the paper leaves me with the problems described.
I'd be happy for any helpful comment!

you can have multiple gateway entries in deafultrouter file but the default gateway for global zone can be only one but you can specify different gateways for different zones..
using this default gateway, you should be able to connect via different network...!

SunMC 3.6.1 Agent and zones

Hi folks,
I'm wondering how to handle zones with SunMC 3.6.1. We're planning to use zones in the future, mostly whole root zones. As far as I understood, I need to install the agent in the global zone and in the local zone afterwards. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance

1. How does the container manager link with SunMC.
Does monitor info go to the sunMC server ?SCM is one of the optional components you're prompted to add when you're installing SunMC Server and Agents. The way it works on the Server is that SCM adds an extra web interface, and it relies on the SunMC for host lists and a place to store it's data (i.e the graphs shown in the SCM web interface are actually coming from the SunMC Oracle database).
On the Agent side, all that happens when you say "y"es to SCM during install is that it adds a hidden module to the Agent that collects container/zone-type data, and can do the bidding of the SCM web interface (i.e. make/destroy Zones, alter CPU pools and container shares etc)
Do you only have to install the container manager
on the global zone ?Yes, it's only required for the SunMC Agent in each global zone. It's that Agent that can "see everything" about the containers and zones that are running.

Updatemanager and zones?

What is the latest news on using updatemanager on a system that
has multiple zones? The patches for the Sun Studio product need
to be installed using the -G option to patchadd, but updatemanager
can't figure that out.
We've got a frustrated user over in this thread:
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=309&threadID=105599

Well, since that last post I�ve re-examined the situation.
Here�s what Sun Update Manager continued to tell me about available updates:
120761-02 Performance Analyzer
121019-03 Fortran 95
121015-03 C 5.8 compiler
121023-03 dbx
121017-06 C++
121021-05 Fortran 95 Libraries
120760-11 Compilers Back-End
Same as yesterday. When I ran Sun Update Manager again, I got the same old updates and four new ones. The new ones installed, but the original seven failed!
So I went to the Sun Studio 11 Patches page at: http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss11_patches.html
where I logged in and accessed the document for 120761-02 (or so I think - see below) intending to give it one more try by downloading the unsigned version. No joy. I got kicked over to the Sunsolve Login Page - even though I�m already logged in!
Hey! I'm persistent, so I returned to the Sun Studio Patches page and accessed the document for 121019-03, clicked on the download link and � it downloaded! Same with the remaining five files. I ended up installing them all manually.
And, then, I figured it out. Remember, though, that Sun Update Manager is telling me that I want 120761-02. And all the link on the Sun Studio 11 patches page shows me is 120761 � without an extension.
What I didn�t realize was that I was getting served the document for 120761-03! No matter, when I clicked on the link in that page to the obsoleted copy of the document for 120761-02 I got kicked over again to the Sunsolve Login Page. No joy either way. When I did it one more time, I was told �Sorry, the patch you requested could not be found.�
Want to know what happened when I accessed the document for 120761-03 on a Windows XP machine and clicked the link for the unsigned patch download? It took me to the Software Licence Agreement! When I accepted, though, I went right back to the Sunsolve Home Page. But when I did the same thing for 120761-02, the download dialog came up!
That was promising and I will admit to being strongly tempted to download on the Windows machine to see what would happen, but decided to give my SPARC machine one more try downloading 120761-02 and � it worked!
At the moment, everything is installed and I�m right up to date. But what a struggle! Does it need to be like this?

Patchadd -R and zones....

Just wanted to let everyone know -- if it isn't already common knowledge --
With Solaris 10 update 1, you can now patchadd -R with zones.
The reason I'm posting this is that we have been struggling with a method to deploy zones in production, yet maintain them with patches ( without taking hours of downtime. )
with the -R switch, you can duplicate your zone FS's ( rsync or any copy utility ) and mount them under an alternate root ( another copy of your OS ) and patch the global & all zones while up and running.
I little sed on the alternate vfstab, and modification of your boot-device, and you can enable the patches on global & zones with the only downtime of a reboot.
Very nice...

So it's been nearly a year since this thread was active -- anyone making headway on speeding up patching of zones? Our benchmarking on an old lab system shows an additional 40 minutes PER ZONE to apply our local patch set (that's Sun's recommended and security plus our add-ons).
At that rate, even a few zones on the system is going to drive the outage window for patching well beyond most folks ability accept.
I like the idea of a single reboot to apply patches but I'm a little hesitant to set up the third mirror solution (as much as it appeals to the hacker inside me) for support reasons. If Live Upgrade could be used that would be a very nice supported way of doing this but I'm fairly certain I've read it's not.
I'm finally getting around to playing around with smpatch (yea, I'm out of date...) and the idea of patching the system with the "standard" patches while it's up and running applications, then applying the "nonstandard" (eg. rebootimmediate and such) during an outage is appealing. Anyone doing something similar in their environment?

Smpatch/local zones, error even after zone uninstalled, fix

Solaris 10, Blade 1500 (silver)
Running smpatch update kept coming back with -
"This operation is not supported by this application for systems with local zones."
even though I had uninstalled the local zone I'd created earlier. I mv'ed the /etc/zones/index file to a new name and all was well. smpatch update completed successfully.
Just a tip,
D

Correct, however doing an uninstall on a zone would leave the above mentioned index file populated with the removed zone. zoneadm list -c would still report the zone as there until the index file was edited/replaced/removed.
It's most likely my limitied knowledge of zones, but I thought the uninstall was the way to fully remove a zone.
Anywho, it's just a tip ;)

LSMW and "Zone GL_EMPL-USERNAME" error

Hi all,
I built an LSMW project (type Idoc) to create Business Partners (under CRM 5.0). When I try to create a "person", I can't find any field in Structure relation (and Field Mapping) to fill the BP's "Username" field (under the "Identification" tab).
We try to fill it via LSMW batch input, CATT and e-catt, all these attempts failed by a "Zone GL_EMPL-USERNAME (no input allowed)" error message.
Could you give me a hint to solve this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Damien,
i guess the reason is u r trying to upload the value into the transaction which is not recorded r which is gray field(not an input field ) .
its just guess(because i face this problem before).
Reward points to helpful answers.
Thanks

Geographic Cluster and zones

Hello,
I am attempting to setup a geographic cluster to failover an Informix application to our disaster recovery (BCP) site. I have a Sun Fire V440 in each location running Solaris 10 08/07 update. The application is currently running on a Solaris 8 02/04 server and must continue to do so. The catch is that the server in the BCP site is also used as a QA server. My thought was to create on the Solaris 10 server, two Solaris 8 containers, one for failover from the home office and the other used for QA. At the home office site, the server would run one Solaris 8 container. We are using EMC SRDF for replication and storage of the Informix database. The container on the home office server would failover to the BCP container on the server in the BCP site. My questions are: 1) Is this scenario possible, and 2) How would I configure the clustering on the servers? Should I be using the the data services for Containers and for Informix? I have so far created one node clusters in each site and was in the process of configuring the resource groups but was unsure how to proceed. Thanks for any help anyone can give. Thanks.

I work for the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition (SCGE) team so I hope I can give some definitive answers...
First, I'm slightly confused as to whether this is a single cluster with geographically split nodes or two single node clusters joined together with SCGE. From re-reading your posting it looks like it is the latter, which although far from optimal, is possible. The point to make is that any failure on the primary site is probably going to have to be treated as a disaster. You will need to decide whether the primary site node will be back up any time soon and if not, take-over the service on the remote (DR) site. Once you've taken over the service, the reverse re-sync is going to be quite expensive. If you'd had a local cluster at the primary site, then only site failures would have forced this decision.
Back to the configuration. You'll need to install single node Solaris Clusters (3.2 01/09) at each site. You would then create an HA-container agent resource group/resource to hold you Solaris 8 brand zone. You'd then put your Informix database in this container. You'd do the same at the remote site. Your options for storage are raw DIDs devices or file system. You can't use SVM with SRDF yet and I don't think there is a supported way to map VxVM volumes into the HA-container (though I may be wrong). Personally, I'd use UFS on raw DID (or VxVM) in the global zone mounted with forcedirectio and map that into the HA-container. (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5025/ciagbcbg?l=en&a=view)
I don't know off-hand whether the the Informix agent will run in with an HA-container agent with a Solaris 8 brand container. I'll ask a colleague.
If you need any more information, it might be more helpful to contact me directly at Sun. (First.Last)
Regards,
Tim

Solaris 10 6/06 ZFS and Zones, not quite there yet...

I was all excited to get ZFS working in our environment, but alas, a warning appeared in the docs, which drained my excitement! :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuous?a=view
essentially it says that ZFS should not be used for non-global zone root file systems.. I was hoping to do this, and make it easy, global zone root UFS, and another disk all ZFS where all non-global whole root zones would live.
One can only do so much with only 4 drives that require mirroring! (x4200's, not utilizing an array)
Sigh.. Maybe in the next release (I'll assume ZFS will be supported to be 'bootable' by then...

non-global zone root file systems..Yes. If you can live with the warning it gives (you may not be able to upgrade the system), then you can do it. The problem is that the the installer packages (which get run during an upgrade) don't currently handle ZFS.
Sigh.. Maybe in the next release (I'll assume ZFS
will be supported to be 'bootable' by then...Certainly one of the items needed for bootable ZFS is awareness in the installer. So yes it should be fixed by the time full support for ZFS root filesystems is released. However last I heard, full root ZFS support was being targeted for update 4, not update 3.

Recommended Patch Clusters and Zones

Good Afternoon,
Ran into a problem earlier this week and wanted to get other views on this. Our current configuration is as followed:
Global zone installed on Local Disk (ZFS)
5 - Non-global whole root zones installed on SAN disk (ZFS)
No Live Upgrade (Will eventually get to this)
Never have had any problems until I attempted to install the latest Patch Cluster because of Comms Suite 7. I shutdown all of the non-global zones and shutdown the Global zone to init S. I then started my Patch Cluster install. The Patch Cluster appears to start all of the zones up in an Administrative Mode for patching. The problem was that when it go to the kernel patch, 141414-10, it appeared to install in the Global but none of the non-global zones were updated. The Patch then stopped on 141414-10 (Patch 109 of 155). I did finally get the patch cluster to install after some work and a support call.
My question is this the proper way to install the Patch Clusters? I've been told that you have to "mount" the zones manually but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of being single-user?
Any help is appreciated.
Doug

I tend to use LU to create a new BE and then patch that. Then activate the new BE and reboot.
Saves a lot of pain and gives a safe fall back option.

Saposcol, Solaris 10 and zones

We are running a bunch of instances on Solaris 10 x86_64 in zones. Everything works great (including ZFS) but one issue is there:
saposcol always "sees" the full machine, means e. g. CPU usage is displayed not on a per-zone basis but only once for all zones.
Are there any plans on extending saposcol to support zone-specific data (such as IBM has recently done with AIX-micropartitioning and/or LPARS)? It would greatly improve resource management on those systems.
