Re: [zones-discuss] set physical=e1000g0
Thank you guys for your answers! Regarding this networking problem, I think I don't have time to investigate into it and I have decided to deploy on Solaris 10 instead. The changes in OpenSolaris is too overwhelming and even Sun cannot catch up with the documentation (for example, sparse zones is no supported in OpenSolaris but the OpenSolaris documentation advises using the inherit-pkg-dir). I'd prefer to wait for OpenSolaris features to be incorporated into the next version of Solaris 11.

[zones-discuss] Newbie: Just upgraded from 2008.11 to 2009.06 and zones fail to boot
Hiya, I've just upgraded my 2008.11 system but the only way I could get it to upgrade was by detaching all my zones or beadm refused to create a new BE. Now that I'm in 2009.06, I used zoneadm -z web attach -F and I can see the zone claims to be installed when using zoneadm list -cv: ID NAME STATUS PATH BRANDIP 0 global running/ native shared - web installed /space/zones/web ipkg shared but when I try to start it I get: zoneadm: zone 'web': call to zoneadmd failed everytime. Have I messed things up by using -F instead of -u when trying to re-attach the zones, or is it stuffed because it was detached during the upgrade process and is therefore still 2008.11 internally ? I've Googled myself in circles so pointers would be very helpful right now (including any way of getting more helpful error messages). I can still see the zone data so I suppose the last resort is to create a new zone now and manually copy the config over, but I have half a dozen or so and it'd get rather tedious. Thanks in advance, -- Ian. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

I'm not sure why you had to first detach your zones. There was a bug in beadm on that but I thought it was fixed. The attach -F does nothing except change the state of the zone to be installed. You are in the state right now where you zones are out of sync with the global zone. This happens because pkg image-update does not yet update all of the zones when you update the global zone. We' working on that for the next release. You should be able to just detach the zones and then attach -u them again which will do the update of the zone automatically.

I'd prefer to wait for OpenSolaris features to be incorporated into the next version of Solaris 11. With respect to the issue you noted, it's not clear with the details you provided whether you will see a difference with Solaris 10. You need to provide more details of what you're trying to do. For example if you have only one physical interface, then creating an exclusive-IP zone is impossible without using OpenSolaris and its virtual NIC (VNIC) capability. Yes, at this time sparse-root zones are not supported in OpenSolaris however there is work underway on how best to support them in the future or perhaps better stated, how best to support the attributes of sparse-root zones that make them useful. The OpenSolaris documentatin advises about using inherit-pkg-dir because it reflects the older model but that doesn't mean the whole-root model isn't supported either. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

hm. detach is failing because attach never marked any zone dataset as active. could you file a bug against detach to make it more robust in the face of failiures? to work around this problem you might just want to edit /etc/zones/index and change the zone state to uninstalled. (this will essentially undo the attach -F you did earlier.) then you can do an attach -u to properly attach the zone. ed On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 09:12:53AM -0700, Ian wrote: Hi Jerry, Ok - I fell through the cracks on the upgrade: nothing new there !

[zones-discuss] cli zone configuration
Folks, I am trying to configure zones by running a series of commands because I want to script setting up zones. The man page for zonecfg only shows interactive examples, and the PDF documentation suggests exporting a config, then editing it, then using zonecfg -f. I don't want to write expect scripts or edit files -- I just want to run some commands to create and modify zones. For the global scope, this works: zonecfg -z zfoo set zonepath=/zonefs/zfoo But for other scopes I can't find an invocation that works. For example, if I would do this interactively: zonecfg:zfoo add net zonecfg:zfoo:net set physical=foonic0 zonecfg:zfoo:net end zonecfg:zfoo how would I do it non-interactively? I can't find any invocation of zonecfg that lets me both specify scope and set a property. This works, but is dorky: printf add net\nset physical=foonic0\nend\n | zonecfg -z zfoo So...is there any good general way to configure zones by running a command or series of commands?

Hi, write the zonecfg commands that you would enter interactively into a file and use zonecfg -f yourfile -z yourzone - you don't need expect or something similar for this to work You can also use that syntax to change the configuration of an existing zone (see http://bnsmb.de/solaris/create_zone.html for an example) regards Bernd Patrick J.

[zones-discuss] [Fwd: [ogb-discuss] Crossbow Community Group Proposal]
FYI Original Message Subject: [ogb-discuss] Crossbow Community Group Proposal Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:51:46 -0600 From: Nicolas Droux nicolas.dr...@sun.com To: ogb-disc...@opensolaris.org Dear OGB Members, I am pleased to propose the creation of a new Crossbow Community Group. The full proposal is available at http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/community-proposal/ and is also attached below for your convenience. Thanks! Nicolas. Summary --- The following is a proposal for the creation of an OpenSolaris Crossbow community group that focuses on the area of network virtualization. Background -- Crossbow has been an OpenSolaris project since in inception in 2006. Project Crossbow re-architected the OpenSolaris networking stack to provide built-in NIC and network virtualization, improved scalability on multi-core, multi-threaded platforms, and a new way to do QoS. Project Crossbow was integrated in OpenSolaris (ONNV build 105) in December 2008, and is currently endorsed by several communities (Networking, Device Drivers, HPC Developer, Logical Domains, OS/Net (ON), Performance, Xen) The home of Project Crossbow is currently at the following location: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow Proposal Since its integration into OpenSolaris, several follow-on projects under the umbrella of Project Crossbow and based on the technology it introduced have been created, or will soon be created. Crossbow has thus evolved from an OpenSolaris project into a community of projects and users. We hereby propose the creation of an OpenSolaris Crossbow community group to represent that evolution. If this proposal is approved, the existing Crossbow project will be superseded by the Crossbow community group. The area of network virtualization is unique and different from general virtualization and networking and will exist for a long time. As such, creating a Crossbow community focused in this area will allow OpenSolaris to showcase its leadership in network virtualization. Focus and Goals --- This new community will foster the development of projects based on, and extending the technology introduced by the Crossbow project. Several such projects are already under way, and it is expected that the majority of projects will initially fall into one of the following broad categories: - Core OS components: core kernel and administration infrastructure. These projects will focus on providing new features, improved performance, and so on, to the core OpenSolaris OS. Some of these projects include: . NUMA awareness and thread placement . Leveraging hardware layer-3 and layer-4 classification . Bandwidth Guarantees . Dynamic resource assignment based on usage . Inter-VNIC communication fastpath . Real-time priorities for VNICs and flows . Finer-grain hardware resource assignment - Analytics, observability, and management: provide tools and infrastructure needed to facilitate and improve the management and observability of Crossbow components, and to enable OpenSolaris as a platform for network consolidation, for example: . dlstat(1M) and flowstat(1) for fine grained runtime statistics . Management shell similar to those used in routers and switches . VirtualWire (vWire) tools . Virtual Network Machines as pre-canned zones - Integration with other virtualization technologies: enhance the integration of Crossbow with OpenSolaris virtualization technologies such as zones, xVM, and LDOMs. Projects in this area include: . VNIC configuration from zonecfg(1M) . VLAN and bandwidth management from xVM configuration tools . Enable the configuration of bandwidth control for LDOM guests - APIs: provide a collection of APIs at various levels of the stack to enable ISVs to be successful on OpenSolaris using Crossbow. Efforts in this area include: . Publish stable GLDv3 driver APIs . Publish MAC client APIs . Management libraries (libdladm and libflowadm) . Kernel- and user-level flow APIs .

Re: [zones-discuss] cli zone configuration
In addition to what everyone else has already replied with, I do something like this if [ conditional ]; then cat EOF $zonecfg add fs set dir=/usr/local set special=$dir/$zone/local set type=lofs end EOF fi Since the variables get substituted within the script, you can make the zone config very very specific according to what exists on the global, command line arguments, phase of moon, whatever. Then feed it to zonecfg with the -f flag. Good luck. --Kris Today at 12:13, Patrick J.

Hi swagman, You can lump the commands into a single zonecfg execution by passing them as a single string argument in which the commands are separated by semicolons.
