[zones-discuss] v2v solaris 8-9 zone to solaris 10 zone
Hello Now that p2v supports S10 with U9, is there some automated easier way to convert existing solaris 8/9 branded zones into native S10 whole zones using the global zone os version ? Regards -- Gael Martinez ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

In our case, we do pset only when licensing requires it (aka oracle,datastage,sybase,borland apps) or when the applications behave poorly and we keep hearing that by lack of budget/resources, the issue cannot be addressed and without direct impact on the business itself, nothing will change. What about creating an IO pset, and then disabling the interrupt on everything else while using it as a FSS pool or psets pools ? Very similar to ldom I would think...

Re: [zones-discuss] Zone in a pset with high load generating high packet loss at the frame level
Many thanks to Bob Netherton and Jeff for their quick help on that painful issue. The solution was to use psrset -f on the heavily used pset. It is fully supported and a recommended situation when CPU starvation causes interrupts not to be serviced in time and they get lost. Credit goes to Rickey Weisner for this tip. I have monitored that zone today for multiple hours without seeing any packet loss while it was cranking up its cpu usage... Jeff, following a previous mail today, as a fervent customer ;), I would love to see that feature directly accessible thru the zone configuration to avoid having to create a script and a dirty workaround to enable that feature on boot. Is there a RFE # out there that I can be added to thru Sun Support ? Got a case opened on that issue. Will continue to monitor the situation for a few days, and if I see anything wrong, I will update that thread Again, thanks !

In the process of that fix being ported back to Solaris 10, it was merged with BrandZ code, and at that point that fix *also* became broken. We're working on a fix for that, as well. So, stay tuned. We've been sorting this out for about a week now, and are at work on getting a patch out as fast as possible. For contract customers, filing an escalation on bug 6608977 should get you access to binary relief (in the form of an IDR) as soon as it is available. As you may know, there is a huge amount of new zones functionality in S10 8/07, so this regression is particularly humbling. Again, please accept our apologies. Someone earlier stated that this was also broken in SXDE-- as far as I know that is *not* the case. One of the reasons this has been a troublesome area is that in Nevada the /dev zones implementation is radically different from S10, due to the existence of the devnames project in Nevada. Hence the S10 and Nevada code is pretty in this area. -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - blogs.sun.com/dp -- Gael Martinez ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Not a good idea.
These entries were removed from /etc/init.d/sysetup because
they were migrated to SMF services:

If you have 122539-05 (included in 118833-36) + 120629-03, then
it should be sufficient to enable the system/pools service assuming

But the fact is my zone is up running with my new pool name. If I do
#pooladm -e
#pooladm
it didn't give the pool that I setup before. It only shows default

So my questions are.
1. Did I setup correctly?
2.pool is not necessary to run at startup?
3. if shutdown zone and bring it up again, it tells me that pool
can't be located and will use default pool instead. What did I do
wrong?

Note that this method would not be supported by Sun for the following reasons: 1) It uses functionality which is not yet supported by Sun (Branded Zones). 2) It requires you to edit system files which you shouldn't edit; the syntax of those files can change. 3) Eventually, a patch will modify the kernel and libc (or other kernel-dependent libs) in such a way that they will be incompatible with the 'cbe' brand.

[zones-discuss] Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and zones
Following a previous email sent to that list today, we are running zones on Solaris U2 machines with the TSM 5.3.4.4 client. We are running it from the global zone. Our current standard is to layout the zones as this: zone name=ldpz8012 zonepath=/zones/ldpz8012 autoboot=true pool=work1-pool network address=10.117.44.66 physical=e1000g0/ filesystem special=/zones/virtual-filesystems/ldpz8012/var directory=/var type=lofs fsoption name=logging/ /filesystem filesystem special=/zones/virtual-filesystems/ldpz8012/opt-Sun-slapd-db directory=/opt/Sun/slapd-db type=lofs fsoption name=logging/ /filesystem [..] filesystem special=/zones/virtual-filesystems/ldpz8012/wastmp directory=/wastmp type=lofs fsoption name=logging/ /filesystem filesystem special=/zones/virtual-filesystems/ldpz8012/home directory=/home type=lofs fsoption name=logging/ /filesystem /zone Of course using a default TSM configuration would mean backuping twice all the filesystems mounted thru lofs... I was wondering what others were doing to avoid duplicating backups in such a similar setup and what were the caveats that you noticed excluding either the directories directly mounted into the zone root or excluding each virtual filesystem.
