Hello all,
There is a new OpenSolaris project for your enjoyment and
contribution called the Zone Manager.
The purpose of this project is to simplify Solaris zones creation
and management down to a single non-interactive command line tool.
The Zone Manager (zonemgr) should enable

To be specific, do you mean that within the global zone, you have
to do the following:
1. Add the zfs filesystem as legacy filesystem.
2. Manually add entry into /etc/vfstab (please provide example as
I don't see one anywhere).
3. Mount the zfs filesystem in the global zone.
4.
in a zone as local-zone:/zoneshare
in zonecfg:
add fs
set type=lofs
set dir=/zoneshare
set special=/zoneshare
set options=rw
I assume you mean 1., but 2. also works.

Whole root implies that you removed the inherited directories.
The default configuration is a sparse root zone.
If you want whole root, you need to add the following to
your config:
remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/lib
remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/usr
remove inherit-pkg-dir dir=/sbin

Durga,
After reading through the original note, I agree with Neil that there is
an inconsistency between zone-one and zone-1. Did you try creating a
zone with the zonemgr script that I mentioned?
Also, I read through the output of the install log that you sent in your
original post. It appears

would rather that there be no license at all. After all there is
nothing new under the Sun in the Zone Manager. Its just a script that

It works now. Thanks, that was fast :-)
Glad it is working for you. Sorry that I overlooked it in my QA cycles.
A side question. Why are you using bash instead of ksh ? Are there specific
bashisms in your script ?
FWIW, I changed the
That is true. However I usually install the minimized meta cluster
with network support and then add zones and requisite packages. That
way zone creation is much shorter.
I add bash because I like it. ;-)

James,
Honestly when I initially wrote these conversions I had hoped
that someone would provide a much simpler way of doing them.
I was surprised that there wasn't a standard OS command to do
the conversions for you.
That being said, your method is absolutely brilliant. Thanks!
With respect
When using the zone manager you just tack on a -t w to
zonemgr to create a whole root zone. The default is a
sparse zone or if you want to specify it from the command
line its -t s.

I recommend that you restrict blastwave bits to the non-global zone.
That way you cannot end up with package conflicts between the global

I have made installing Blastwave packages really easy for you via

That is correct. With the parms you specified, zonemgr will ask
you if you are sure yes|no. To automatically answer yes, add

Blastwave is fine for installing in the global zone. However, this

applied to ALL non-global zones as well. The only issue comes

Wee Yeh is correct. The zonemgr doesn't do anything that would cause

Hello Tony,
The zone type by default is sparse. Thus /usr and other filesystems
will be inherited in read-only mode from the global zone. I suspect
that all of the SMC* packages that gave errors included pre or post
processing scripts that attempted to change permissions of files or
directories
The current version of the Zone Manager supports CPU processor
sets via the -p flag. Here is the usage:
-p resource|resource_arg
resource can be either cpu or ram.
resource_arg is either number of processors
or Mb of RAM depending on the resource specified.
If you aren't familiar with zones, you can use the Zone Manager to dive
in quickly without having to ramp up on the semantics of zone config
syntax.

If the action that you want to perform against all zones is to
boot or halt, you can use the Zone Manager like so...
To halt all zones:
zonemgr -a only -n haltall
To boot all zones:
zonemgr -a only -n bootall
Or if you just want to run a command on all non-global zones,
you can use the
uname -a
Run uname -a in specific zones:
# zonemgr -a runcmd -n zone1 zone3 -X uname -a
Run a series of commands in all zones:
# zonemgr -a runcmd -n all -X uname; ps -ef | grep syslog

Hello Tony,
In general for integrity reasons, I believe your are best off to
make the change while the zone is offline. In the Zone Manager,
I capture the current zone run state, then gracefully shutdown the

zone state. e.g.
