Is it supported to use a hostname rather than an IP address when
creating a new interface for a zone? This will not be the primary
interface for the zone.
I have a need to do this because the IP address needs to change when we
bring this zone up at our DR site. The primary interface is managed by
a Sun Cluster Logical Hostname resource. Different cluster at DR, so we
are able to define a different IP for the logical hostname. I'd rather
define any additional virtual interfaces at the zone layer, hence my
need to put a hostname, rather than an IP address in the zone config.
Yes, see zonecfg(1m)
net: address, allowed-address, configure-allowed-address,
physical, defrouter
The net resource represents the assignment of a physical
network resource to a zone. The resource must exists in
the global zone prior to the assignment.
The network address and physical interface name of the
network interface. The network address is one of:
oa valid IPv4 address, optionally followed by
/ and a prefix length;
oa valid IPv6 address, which must be followed by
/ and a prefix length;
oa host name which resolves to an IPv4 address.
^^
Note that host names that resolve to IPv6 addresses are
not supported.
