Re: [zones-discuss] [install-discuss] Changing the way how a Zone installs
Hi Will, I just creating a NGZ for OpenSolaris. If you installed from the OS media then you'll need to do an update from the release repository to the global before you can create an NGZ. The brand type is ipkg if you use native for the brand the install will try and use non-existent LU tools. So if you copy an existing NGZ configuration where there is no brand variable in the configuration it will default to native. If you use the zonecfg to create the NGZ from scratch the brand type was automatically set for me. You will need internet access to install the NGZ as the install uses the repository to make sure it gets the appropriate versions of the packages. There is a procedure to create your own local repository with help from a readme and a complete ISO image off the genunix site. This is where I found that the 2009.06 OS media was a different release than the ISO image by 4 days. Once I updated that global environment the install of the NGZ was smooth. The URL to the local repository configuration is. http://www.genunix.org/dist/indiana/README.osol-repo The ISO image referenced is located at this URL. http://www.genunix.org/dist/indiana/ Not sure if this answers your question but was what I needed to install a NGZ in my environment.

Or is there another way to do so? Thanks I have the same question (using OpenSolaris snv_111b). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org -- Geoff Shipman - (303) 223-6266 Systems Technology Service Center - Operating System Solaris and Network Technology Domain Americas Systems Technology Service Center ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] Does update on attach add information from the new systems kernel patch ?
Jerry, Thanks for the update on the /etc/release file. The customer is more concerned regarding the kernel patch info not listed in the NGZ. From uname output in the NGZ we can see the kernel matches the global value. Its the lack of showrev -p data for that kernel revision that customer is concerned with.

The NGZ is sparse but I don't think a whole root would behave much differently. The update worked and the NGZ was attached but I noted that the kernel revision via uname -a was the new version but a showrev -p for that patch ID does not show the patch installed. The global side does show the kernel patch as installed. Is this expected behavior ?. I noted that the /etc/release was not updated reflecting the new kernel environment the NGZ was running under. This lack of update to /etc/release though is not expected as only an upgrade or fresh install modifies that entry. This is: 6715679 update on attach should update etc/release file which is fixed in S10u7.

Re: [zones-discuss] Does update on attach add information from the new systems kernel patch ?
Jerry and Mike, I have requested the log data as well as verification the -F option was not used. I also asked for showrev -p output from the NGZ. I will update when available. The log data looks to be in the /var/sadm/system/logs directory of the NGZ and the file is called update_log.
