Re: [zones-discuss] Using zones for simple usage
May be use vbox or xen in opensolarris --- Original message --- From: Harry Putnam rea...@newsguy.com Sent: 14/7/'09, 7:35 After reading only a little about zones.. I doubt I really get the expected usage one might put a zone to. My case is very homespun just a home lan with at most... 6 machines. 1 vista(laptop) 3 winXP 1 linux 1 Opensolaris (2009.6 still using b111) I've been mainly a linux user until recently but use 3 winXP machines for video and photography processing since I work largely with all Adobe tools. I'm more experienced with admin type chores on linux.. I'm using the Opensol machine for most backup type jobs across the lan. Or in cases where the backup may originate on a windows machine such as with `Retrospect', the opensol machine is the recipient only. I wondered if there would be any advantage to creating a zone where only the backup chores were handled, nothing else. I can't be sure if that is even the kind of thing one would do with a zone, but it seems kind of likely it would be handy to have an area where nothing but backup chores were in order. Another zone I've thought about would be for nameservice to my home lan. Maybe a mail server might be another zone usage. I hoped to hear from a few experienced `zones' users about such a usage. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

anyone know when the brandz for s10 will be out? e.g. running s10 with opensolaris zone?

I always keep zones as similar as possible, but full zones still leaves the possibility to make some changes to the packages and patches in case its necessary. Unfortunately we have no way to know which pkgs you deliberately want to be different between the global and non-global zone and which you want to be in sync. Thats why a list where the user could control that would be needed. Isn't that the purpose of pkgadd -G? -G Add package(s) in the current zone only. When used in the global zone, the package is added to the global zone only and is not propagated to any existing or yet-to-be- created non-global zone. When used in a non-global zone, the package(s) are added to the non-global zone only. This option causes package installation to fail if, in the pkginfo file for a package, SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES is set to true. See pkginfo(4). A package added to the global zone with pkgadd -G should not be upgraded in the non-global zone. The problem is when you look at a zone, how do you know what to sync with the global zone? For example, if you have a whole-root zone, that means you've explicitly decided you want the ability to manage pkgs in /usr, etc. independently of the global zone. With a true upgrade, those pkgs that are part of the release are upgraded anyway. What do we do with a zone migration? What pkg metadata do we have inside the zone to tell us which pkgs to sync and which not to?
