Re: [zones-discuss] cli zone configuration
I use a 'here' document in ksh to do what you want. You could use variables to pass IP address and zone name to the script. See the attachment. --ron -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
[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? Thanks for any help, swagman -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [zones-discuss] cli zone configuration
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.

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.

Re: [zones-discuss] cli zone configuration
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. Using your example: zonecfg -z zfoo set zonepath=/zonefs/zfoo; add net; set physical=foonic0; end Hope that helps, Jordan On 06/12/09 12:13, Patrick J.
