Hello All, In Solaris 10 it was possible to install a package from a global zone into the non-global zones by setting proper packaging values (SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES, SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW, SUNW_PKG_THISZONE). I am aware that this is not possible in Solaris 11 as of now. I have a couple of questions around package upgrades in a zone environment.
1. If the global zone is updated to a newer version say from Solaris 11 to Solaris Update 1, would the brand zones be updated too? 2. If the brand zones were not available during the global zone update, will the attach -u of the brand zones upgrade the packages within the zones ? 3. If I have a 3-rd party application that is installed both in the global and local zones, is there a mechanism of upgrading the packages within the local zones without having to manually update after logging in to each of the zones ? We have customers who have hundreds of zones running on their hosts while our application needs packages to be installed in the global as well as the local zones. Asking them to manually install/upgrade each of the zones independently would be quite a task. Having the Solaris 10 packaging behavior would help a lot.
