good suggestions on how to work around if you're in on the "build" phase, but
we have an implementation group that builds our frames out. Another group
working on the virtuals, ldoms and non-global zones. We've gotten so "big" and
"efficient" (not) with our thousands upon millions of server instances that no
one seems to remember to tell us little SAs on the front line all those pesky
details details. CMDB is used for the business side and little things like
what physical frame/host/cd/sd is the ldom I'm logged into on are trivial and
left out? When it's time for a change that requires access to the parent or
host control domain or service domain, it takes an act of God to find someone
that can put their finger on the right physical host. Can't count the number
of times we've found out the hard way when a site engineer (hands/feet) trips

Haven't used LDOMs, but with ngz it's trivial. You can just write or mount
files from the global zone to the ngz:
# zonecfg -z foo
zonecfg:foo> info fs
fs:
dir: /etc/globalzone
special: /etc/nodename
raw not specified
type: lofs
options: [ro,nodevices]
Which, in the ngz, mounts the global's /etc/nodename as /etc/globalzone. I use
this in my bash profile so I know which zone is on which host without doing a
lookup in our groups database:
[root@pride]:[~]# zlogin foo
[Connected to zone 'foo' pts/11]
Last login: Thu Oct 20 04:05:12 from logs Oracle Corporation SunOS 5.10
Generic Patch January 2005
[pride]:[root@foo]:[~]#
if [ -e /etc/globalzone ] ; then
GLOBAL="[`cat /etc/globalzone`]"
fi
PS1="$GLOBAL:[\u@\h]:[\w]\$PR "
You can do the same for whatever piece of gz data you want. But you have to add
these yourself; there's no magical way in an ngz to do it.
Cheers.
