Re: [zones-discuss] Zones: Could not bring network interface up: address in use by zone 'global'

2007-09-22 Thread Dick Davies
Yes, you give it the global zones interface name,
and it then creates an alias on that interface with the IP address
you specified.

 Hi -

 To create a zone, I'm using:

 zonecfg -z $ZONENAME1 add net; set address=$IP1; set 
 physical=$NETWORK_INTERFACE1; end

 zonecfg -z zone1 add net; set address=IP Address for global zone; set 
 physical=ce0; end

 Should the zonecfg command use the ip address for zone1?

 Thanks,
 Lana

Re: [zones-discuss] [zfs-discuss] zoneadm clone doesn't support ZFS snapshots in

On 21/09/2007, Mike Gerdts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


 I would really like to ask Sun for a roadmap as to when this is going
 to be supported.

The best way around this I can think of is to have a 'template' zone
for cloning on UFS that you use to build your other (ZFS-backed) zones.
Then delegate a dataset into each zone to hold the important stuff.

Come upgrade time, you drop all the 'child' zones, patch the template
and use it to re-provision the other zones. Then drop the dataset back in.

Course, it'll take a while to clone the template since it's UFS-backed...

Re: [zones-discuss] Correct procedure to remove a ZFS file system from a non-global zone

2007-09-07 Thread Dick Davies
On 07/09/2007, Ril [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

What is the proper way to remove it? I tried the following:
 From the global zone:
 1) halt the zone
 2) use zonecfg to remove the dataset
 3) boot the zone

That's what I've always done, yes. It'd be nice to not have to reboot the
zone, but I don't know of a way to avoid that.

 When I logged back into the zone, the mount point was still present, but now 
 under /, but the files were gone, and they weren't present in the pool on the 
 global zone, either.

You should be able to 'zfs set mountpoint=/whatever poolname/filesystem' in
the global zone now to put it where you want.

  Hi,
 
  I created guest domains and used sparse root model zones on a

 AFAIK, Currently, zone supports for adding ZFS dataset,

 but seems not support use ZFS as root filesystem.

The zone shouldn't be aware of it.
It does break Live Upgrade of zones, other than that it should work OK.

Re: [zones-discuss] limiting a percentage of CPU resource on a zone

2007-04-26 Thread Dick Davies

Hi,

What would be the best way/easiest way to limit an amount of a  8core CPU  to a 
specific zone.

Can I do it in such a way to limit 2 of 8 cores, or does it have to be in a 
percentage bases.

Im assuming it would be done with zonecfg, any help is appreciated.


Project Duckhorn (Solaris Express = b55) makes this pretty easy -
zonecfg has been extended to support new keywords, so you just have
to :

zonecfg -z somezone
add dedicated cpu
 set ncpus=2-8
end

and reboot the zone.

From the zonecfg manpage:


dedicated-cpu: ncpus, importance

The number of CPUs that  should  be  assigned  for  this
zone's  exclusive  use.  The zone will create a pool and
processor  set  when  it  boots.  See  pooladm(1M)   and
poolcfg(1M)  for more information on resource pools. The
ncpu property can specify a single value or a range (for
example,  1-4)  of  processors.  The must be enough free
processors to allocate to this zone when it boots or the
zone will not boot. The processors assigned to this zone
will not be available for the use of the global zone  or
other zones. This resource is incompatible with the pool
property. Only a single instance of this resource can be
added to the zone.

Hi..
After searching hi  low, I cannot find the answer for what I want to do (or at

understand how to do it). I am hopeful somebody can point me in the right 
direction.
I have (2) non global zones (samba  www) I want to be able to have all user 
home
dir's served from zone samba AND be visable under zone www as the users 
public_html
dir. I have looked at delegating a dataset to samba and creating a new fs for 
each user but then I cannot share that with www. I also tried creating the fs 
under the global zone and mounting that via lofs but that did not seem to carry 
over each underlying fs and lost the quota capability. I cannot share via NFS 
since non global
zones cannot mount from the same server.

How can I achieve what I want to do?

The requirements are:

User Quotas (needs a file system for each user)
Share file systems across multiple non global zones (rw)

I have close to 3000 users so it must be a manageable approach and hopefully
allow me to use the root preexec of samba to auto create user dir's.

tia for any help,

Daren

That is the changelog for the ON consolidation only; LiveUpgrade is part
of another consolidation. Solaris the product consists of multiple
consolidations such as ON, X, etc.


Ah, thanks.

Next question :) - is there a general sxcr changelog anywhere that merges
the individual subprojects?

I've never used liveupgrade (is that what 'lu' refers to?) but I saw this when
a package install crapped out. Possibly $ZONEPATH/lu is involved then.

As Enda said, I got around it by running a 'zoneadm -z myzone unmount'.

[zones-discuss] ps -ef as non-root in global zone shows *all* processes

2006-09-06 Thread Dick Davies

I could have sworn a 'ps -ef' (as a non-privileged user)
in the global zone only showed processes in the global zone.

As of b46, that's no longer the case.
Is the change intentional?

In S10 there was a single pkg for pools (SUNWpool).  In nevada this
was split into two pkgs (SUNWpool  SUNWpoold).  SUNWzoneu still
depends on SUNWpool, but if you look at that pkg, it no longer
depends on SUNWj5rt.  The SUNWpoold pkg does depend on SUNWj5rt.


That makes sense - I thought the OP was asking to remove the
'dynamic resource pools' dependency on java.

Thanks.

Zones needs the 'resource pools' package. If you choose
'dynamic pools' (which aren't required by zones), you need Java.
