Re: [zones-discuss] vxfs in non-global zone

2010-03-16 Thread Derek McEachern
Thanks for the responses.

We don't plan on running the zone root on vxfs, it will be on ufs.

The VRTSvfxs package installs with parameters
SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES='true'
SUNW_PKG_HOLLOW='true'
SUNW_PKG_THISZONE='false'

so package content is not delivered to the zone just the package information
so it appears to be installed.

I think we are going to experiment with mounting the vxfs into the zone from
the global.

I am away from home and om mobie device so i'll make it short.

This work fine if you don't ever put the zoneroot on vxfs, if you do  
you will not be able to use all upgrade options and the Veritas  
supplied scripts for live upgrade only works with a vanilla install  
(no separate LUN for zones etc)


Someone mentioned that not all packages was present in the local zone,  
I think that most of the VRTS packages (or to many at least) has  
PKG_ALLZONES set to to, so they must be installed on all zones(to have  
a supported system)


I might be off target, it's late and I'm not supposed to do this on my  
vaccation;)
