[zones-discuss] zlogin -C does not seem to work for me as expected
Hi, i'm new to this, and working on an older system (s10_06) but am trying to complete the final configuration steps to adding a zone and any help would be appreciated from what i find i need to finish the configuration after the create/install/boot procedure (those steps seem to have gone fine) using zlogin commands. when, as root user, i do zlogin -C i am told i'm connected to the console, and am presented with a cursor. what next? from what i have seen i should be faced with a barrage of questions allowing me to complete my steps. if i wait a while and press return key, i am told i've enered system maintenance mode at /dev/console and again a cursor presents itself. so how do i get the questions to show up? thanks for any assistance. rosco -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Hi what does zoneadm lsit -cv say about zone state
what does ptree -z zonename say is running in the zone.
To automate this one can include a sysidcfg file in zonepath/root/etc
seem man sysidcfg to get an idea of what it might look like
or an example: domain-name and ip adresses changed :-)
root@kilcolgan:/export# cat sysidcfg
name_service=NIS { domain_name=foo.com }
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timeserver=patchmenow
timezone=GB-Eire
network_interface=PRIMARY {
hostname=whitecliff
ip_address=100.100.100.100
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=100.100.100.1
}
security_policy=none
display=workaround:Unknown
pointer=workaround:Unknown
monitor=workaround:Unknown
root_password=blahblah
nfs4_domain=sun.com

Enda

Something is now working right if you are getting the maintenance
prompt. You can log into the
zone with zlogin -S zonename, and then run svcs -xv to see what
service has issues.

Re: [zones-discuss] zlogin -C does not seem to work for me as expected
thanks Enda for the quick reply.
the zoneadm list -cv shows the zone is running
the ptree command shows the following (means nothing to me, sorry)
3178 zsched
3187 init
3216 /etc/sulogin -
3217 defunct
3211 /usr/lib/crypto/kcfd
to be quite honest i'm not a sys admin type guy - i'm a qa guy tasked with
trying to create a zone, install my test application, and see if it runs.
using input from various web sources i've managed those steps except that while
my application runs, the only i.p. it's accessible on is the same as the
global_zone vs. the i.p. assigned during zone creation. that is when i found
out about the zlogin step which i'm trying now to load via the sysidcfg file
method
i did create a sysidcfg file (in the zonename/root/etc) as specified by you,
with inputs from my is guy, but we did not know what specifically to do with
the terminal and system_local inputs and also left the {}brackets in place.
maybe incorrectly?
/zonehome# cat sysidcfg
name_service=NIS { domain_name=MYDOMAIN }
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timeserver=MYTIMESERVER
timezone=GB-Eire
network_interface=hmeo {
hostname=MYHOSTNAME
ip_address=MYHOSTIP 10.x.x.x
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=MYHOSTIP 10.x.x.x
}
security_policy=none
display=workaround:Unknown
pointer=workaround:Unknown
monitor=workaround:Unknown
root_password=MYROOTPASS
nfs4_domain=MYDOMAIN
anyway - so far i'm not seeing that as working yet but will keep trying.
last bit of info - i'm giving ownership of the zone to a user/group to keep
them apart from other areas of the system. from my reading seems like the
right thing to do.
thanks,
rosco

Thanks for the idea Steve but when i try the svcs command it tells me svcs does not exist. and if i try man svcs it can't find a thing. perhaps my system is too out of date (it's inherited). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
