Hi Jack,

OpenSolaris only supports whole-root zones. See the Zones in OpenSolaris <http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/faq/#os_diff> FAQ for the details on why.

Therefore, you need to install MySQL and GlassFish in the non-global zone.

You have to manually configure the non-global zone's networking. This blog entry on zones <http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/zones> may be helpful to you.

Regards,
Brian

dear all,

I've installed mysql and glassfish packages in my OpenSolaris 2009.06 
installation in VirtualBox. Then I created a non-global zone (I think it is 
sparse-root, by default).

Within the non-global zone, mysql & glassfish are unavailable. Actually I 
wanted to confine them to hv them run in non-global zone not global zone.

Questions:
1. would the non-global zone hv access to mysql & glassfish install if I've had 
created the non-global zone 1st THEN downloaded/installed the packages from Package 
Manager?

2. Or by creating a whole root zone would have solved the problem?

3. Networking issue: leaving my non-global zone as it is, I tried to use pkg to get 
and install the mysql & glassfish packages. But it came out error stating it 
could not find the package server. Obviously, it is networking problem within the 
non-global zone whereby it can't locate and connect to the Internet WHILE the 
global zone has no such network problems. Does the non-global zone follows the dns 
configurations of the global zone upon creation or I've to manually configure it 
and how?

thanks in advance,
jackling
