Hi Guys, I noticed that there are some different behavior in cloning a zone in os2008.11, here is the message I've gotten:
root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# zoneadm -z demozone1 clone templatezone sys-unconfig started Sun Dec 07 11:07:19 2008 rm: cannot remove `/rpool/zones/demozone1/root/etc/vfstab.sys-u': No such file or directory grep: /rpool/zones/demozone1/root/etc/dumpadm.conf: No such file or directory sys-unconfig completed Sun Dec 07 11:07:19 2008 root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# zfs list -t snapshot NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool/ROOT/opensolaris at install 134M - 2.21G - rpool/zones/templatezone/ROOT/zbe at demozone1_snap 0 - 331M - root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# A snapshot was created on my source zone everytime I cloned from there, and there are two lines of messages prompted after issuing commands, is this expected message? If I tried to use clone -m copy command, here is what I've gotten: (I have deleted the demozone1 and prepared it for cloning again...) root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# zonecfg -z demozone1 -f demozone1.cfg root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# zoneadm -z demozone1 clone -m copy templatezone /usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone: -m: unknown option Usage: /usr/lib/brand/ipkg/clone {sourcezone} usage: clone [-m method] [-s <ZFS snapshot>] [brand-specific args] zonename Clone the installation of another zone. The -m option can be used to specify 'copy' which forces a copy of the source zone. The -s option can be used to specify the name of a ZFS snapshot that was taken from a previous clone command. The snapshot will be used as the source instead of creating a new ZFS snapshot. All other arguments are passed to the brand clone function; see brands(5) for more information. root at opensolaris:/etc/zones# I don't have any problem in os2008.05 with exactly the same commands listed above, so can anyone enlighten me what did I do wrong for cloning zones in this latest release of opensolaris?
