I almost replied with that... If you can take the outage, it is usually a good idea to test your change as soon as you make it. If the zone is up for another 6 months, you will not learn about your fat fingers until a time far removed from the change made. A more holistic approach is to get this into your standard zone build process. Many places have a script that they have written to build zones the way they like, others have customized zone templates. Whichever your style is (hopefully not manual steps every time) insert it into your repeatable process so it is a reliable indicator across all of your systems. FWIW, the way that I really implemented this was via copying a file like nodename into $zonepath/root/etc/globalzonename. I'll be changing that shortly to use lofs mounts so that it automatically handles things right with zoneadm detach + attach. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
