Re: [zones-discuss] iscsi on zone
As far as I know, at this time you can't have a zone be an independent iSCSI initiator. :( However, you can connect to the target of your choice in the global zone and then add that as a device to your zone with the add device command in zonecfg(1m). In this regard, iSCSI is just the same as Fibre Channel or locally attached disk. One problem with having a zone be able to import (or create) raw devices and then mount filesystems atop them is that it usually not too hard to scribble bad data onto the device and then get the filesystem to panic (the whole machine). mmh ! how com ? That said, we think that in some environments this will be desired. I had a conversation with some of the iSCSI engineers a couple of weeks ago on this topic, so we're only really just starting to think about this. If you (or others on the list with a similar need) could follow up (privately if you want) with a little more detail about what you are trying to do, and how this fits into your business or project, I can get you a bug filed, and take it to the iSCSI team. To the best of my knowledge you are the first person to ask for this feature, although we do know it's an issue we'll need to solve eventually. in fact, we are thinking of a way to have a cheap, reliable SAN based on iscsi and zfs. Because as the zfs team said, ZFS loves cheaps disk ! The idea is to spread HD around nodes. And to have _one_ of this nodes consolidating the HD's with zfs through iscsi and to offer this available space on NFS. That's said. To make life easier, we were thinking to put the initiators roots of the zpool and the nfs server into a zone, so it will be easier to migrate from node to node, the ISCSI-ZFS-NFS service.

Re: [zones-discuss] Using serial ports with zones
afaik, nothing will prevent you from adding the same device into two zones via zonecfg. (although i haven't tried this.) course then both zones could try to access the device simultaneously, which could cause a range of differnt problems. (ex: hung applications trying to open the device exclusively, unpredictable access because two apps are reading from the device at the same time, etc.) ed On Thu, Apr 19, 2007 at 05:15:58AM -0700, Pär Känsälä wrote: Is it possible to have two local zones using one serial port ?

[zones-discuss] Re: Can not rename a zone
I ended up applying the cluster patch which includes this patch as well and that fixed it. Thanks, Vahid. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
