[zones-discuss] zone creation opensolaris svn99 problem

[Tonton Dede]

Hello,

I am trying Opensolaris 200805 svn99 on virtualbox (Opensuse 11 64bit)

I follow the procedure described for solaris 10, but when I get to the point

# zoneadm -z zone install
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone
and thenI get this error:
Error: unable to determine global zone boot environment

Has something changed ?

What need I to do in order to have zones working ?

kind regards,
TD

Hi
what does the last entry in the zone install log look like ( although it 
mightn't have flushed the relevant data to file it might be worth a look )
so zone-path/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log

what does ptree say for the global zone ( ptree -z global )
maybe a truss of the hung process mighgt shed some light.

also what is the OS release etc

[zones-discuss] zone creation

[Abraham Panicker]

Hi, 

When creating a zone with zone creation scripts, I am using the option 

'create -b' 

Will it create a sparse root zone or a whole root zone. 

If I wanted to create a sparse root zone, what options would I add to
the cmd file script. 

Following is my script which created a whole root zone. 

file : * create-zone1.csh ***

#!/bin/csh -v
mkdir /zones/zone1
chmod 700 /zones/zone1
zonecfg -z zone1 -f zone1.cmdfile
zoneadm -z zone1 install
zoneadm -z zone1 boot


file : * zone1.cmdfile

create -b
set autoboot=true
set zonepath=/zones/zone1
add net
set physical=ce0
set address=10.1.195.138
end
verify
commit
exit

create -b will create whole root zone.
If you want to create sparse root zone then just run 'create'

Whole root.

None -- just remove the -b.
