[zones-discuss] zoneadm install fails with legacy mounted ZFS filesystem

2008-03-05 Thread Danilo Poccia
Hi,

I'm having trouble in SXCE b84 with the issue in subject, discussed in  
this 2006 mailing list:

http://osdir.com/ml/solaris.opensolaris.zones/2006-07/msg00027.html

The workaround is easy (remove the add fs with type=zfs prior to  
install and add it again just after that) but does anyone know if a  
bug has been filed for that?

Thks  Rgdrs,
Danilo.

[zones-discuss] sol10u4 importance parameter

2008-03-05 Thread Maciej Browarski
Hello,
I play with dedicated-cpu on solaris 10 u4.
I read that, this function separate ncpus from global zone and pins this 
ncpus exclusive to non global zone, but what, in this case,  means 
importance parameters ?
Is possibility  to run more  non-global  zones  with dedicated-cpu on  
these same set processors ? (if is this is true, how this importance is 
calculate ?)

Regards,

 Maciej,
 
 Before you created a non-global zone, you created a dynamic resource 
 pool and associated a processor set with it. Then you created a 
 non-global zone and associated it with the resource pool.
 
 Now you can create additional non-global zones and if you associate them 
 with the resource pool you created, these zones will share the 
 resources- including processor set- of that pool.
 
 I found this reference to be very helpful:

This is not the correct procedure when using the dedicated-cpu resource.
It only applies when you are setting the pool property to use
a pool you manually created.

Re: [zones-discuss] How to configure Global/Local zone in seperate subnet and use seperate router

2008-03-05 Thread Anne Moore
Hi Enda

This is great information, thank you! I wonder, would you mind sending me
that document (from the link you gave below)? I can't download or view any
webpages not approved by our security board(!) Thus, I can't even go to that
link. 

I would so appreciate it!! 

Thank you again

Anne

Hi
For the ce driver you will need
137042-01 SPACR
137043-01  X86
which fix CR 6616075 ( ON Part )

as well as
118777-12 SPARC
118778-12  x86
which fix CR 6606507  the ce driver side.

 Hi
 There is a doc at
 http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-90317-1search
 clause=ip-type=exclusive%2420120011-14


 which goes through the patches required to get ip instances working on 
 pre u4.

 Also you'll need the ce patches, I'll try and dig them up for you.

 I would prefer not to upgrade, but to patch the solaris 10u3 to the 
 functionality of 10u4 (mainly kernel and zones patches).
 You also need the newly released ce driver patch, which will enable 
 exclusive tcpip in zones.

 Dear All and Solaris Expert,

 Our customer wanted to configure Global and Local zone in completely 
 difference IP Subnet and use difference default router. Understand 
 that existing Solaris 10 prior to update4, it's quite impossible, as 
 the Global zone will still see the Local zone IP traffic and the 
 routing can only be done of Global zone. Doing so, the Global zone 
 has becoming part of the member in the Local zone subnet

 After escalated, SUN Backend engineer has advised that it can be 
 done on Solaris 10 update4. Now, customer wanted to upgrade from 
 Solaris 10 11/06 u3 to update 4, to have that feature. The following 
 is some of our customer's questions (In Green), my research (In red) 
 and question at the bottom of this email. Hope this email isn't too 
 long for your to read


 1, What would be the technical impact on their ecosystem? Any impact 
 on Solaris volume manager and container?

 Starting with this release, *Solaris* Live Upgrade has been changed 
 with the following enhancements:   == Taking about Solaris 10 08/07 u4

*

   You can upgrade the *Solaris* OS when non-global zones are
   installed on a system by using *Solaris* Live Upgrade.  == Then
   what about Solaris 10 11/06 u3?

 http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0547/getjd?l=enq=solaris+10+zo
 neadma=view#getas



 2. A written confirmation from Sun that by updating the Solaris, it 
 will resolve their issue.

 Found the following:

 Determine whether the zone will be a shared-IP zone or an 
 exclusive-IP zone.
 

 For a shared-IP zone, which is the default, obtain or configure IP 
 addresses for the zone. Depending on your configuration, you must 
 obtain at least one IP address for each non-global zone that you 
 want to have network access.
 For an exclusive-IP zone, determine the data-link that will be 
 assigned to the zone. The zone requires exclusive access to one or 
 more network interfaces. The interface could be a separate LAN such 
 as bge1, or a separate VLAN such as bge2000. _*The data-link must be 
 GLDv3*_. A data-link that is *not* GLDv3 is identified as type:
 legacy in the output of the dladm show-link command.


 http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuoov?l=ena=view

 Document Say the GLDv3 is supported on the interface types: bge, 
 xge, and e1000g. But, _*Customer** E25K is running most ce 
 interface*_

 http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4554/6maoq01n5?l=ena=view#gaug
 z


 Questions as follow:

 1. Can we live upgrade the Solaris 10u3 to u4 without impacting 
 their existing solaris container/zone?

 2. After upgraded, is their existing interface card supported to 
 configure global and local zone in difference subnet and use 
 individual default router without interface each other the global 
 and local zone.

 3. How to configure it?

 Any advise and comment are very much appreciated. Thank you in 
 advance

 Thanks

 Regards
 Tony Wong

Keep in mind that to use exclusive IP's each zone will need its own
physical network.  That is if you have a network used only by the
global zone and a different network shared by two or more non-global
zones, you will need to have a physical network interface per
non-global zone.  If you want to add redundancy using IPMP, double the
number of physical networks.
