[zones-discuss] Solaris Zone API
Hi Solaris Gurus, we're looking to Solaris API ( perl modules ? ) like VMware API ( VmCom, VmPerl). We would like to automate cloning, delete, start, stop and check of vm's (vmware) and zones (solaris). Many thanks , tpham -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [zones-discuss] attach -u question
Hi Paula I seem to remember that an RFE for this was mentioned but I cannot locate it if one was logged, the idea beignthat one coudl pass a lsit of packages to update. Enda Paula Van Wie wrote: Does anyone know if this is going to be fixed or has it? Cu uses whole root zones and is wondering if in the future attach -u will update even if SUWN_PKG_ALLZONES is not set to true. Thanks. A number of important non-application packages are not updated when doing 'zoneadm zonename attach -u' because SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES is not defined as true, or no packages that depend on the package have this parameter set to true. The list of packages that do not update on our 10/09 build with zone update on attach are: (This is a short list) SUNWTk SUNWbash SUNWbind SUNWbindr SUNWciu8 SUNWctlu SUNWdtbas SUNWdtdmr SUNWfreetype2 SUNWgtar SUNWgzip SUNWicu SUNWinst SUNWj5cfg -- Enda O'Connor x19781 Software Product Engineering Patch System Test : Ireland : x19781/353-1-8199718 ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

In whoel root zone, the packaging bits are not pulled into update on attach, but they shoudl never be missing obviously.

[zones-discuss] OpenSolaris zone migration
Hello all. I am trying to migrate a zone on OpenSolaris from one identical system to another. It's going from x86 to sparc, but even when going from x86 to x86 I get the same error. Here's the build of both systems SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris (source system) SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_111b sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Solaris (target system) After creating the zone on zfs per expectations, I detach it it and get the typical directory you would expect: # ls SUNWdetached.xml dev root I then run the following command to migrate the zone: zfs send rpool/tedz...@migrate | ssh u...@hostname pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs receive -F rpool/tedz...@migrate Everything looks good at that point. The zfs file system is mounted at rpool/tedzone automatically, and so I create a zone configuration to match that. However, when I run the attach I get the following error message: zoneadm -z tedzone attach cannot open 'rpool/tedzone/ROOT': dataset does not exist ERROR: The -a, -d or -r option is required when there is no active root dataset The funny thing here is that the zfs list on the source system doesn't mention this zfs file system: rpool/tedzone 242M 64.1G 22.5K /tedzone rpool/tedzone/ROOT 242M 64.1G19K legacy rpool/tedzone/ROOT/zbe 242M 64.1G 242M /tedzone/root Are we looking at a bug here? -- Have a great day, and thank you for calling Sun!
