[zones-discuss] Upgrading a ipkg brand zone
I have installed on my laptop (under OpenSolaris 2008.05, snv_95) a ipkg brand zone (default for that operating system) and all work fine. Now I have updated the system to the snv_96, but my zones are on version snv_95, there are some special steps to keep zones updated or I follow the steps to update the global zone inside each zone? -- Luca Morettoni luca(AT)morettoni(DOT)net - http://morettoni.net BLOG @ http://morettoni.blogspot.com/ | GPG key 0xD69411BB jugUmbria founder - https://jugUmbria.dev.java.net/ | Thawte notary ITL-OSUG leader - http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/itl-osug/ ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Luca, Try finding the root path to your zone, like this: # zoneadm list -vc ID NAME STATUS PATH BRANDIP 0 global running/ native shared - donutshopinstalled /zones/donutshop ipkg shared In this case it would be inside of /zones/donutshop, in /zones/donutshop/root Next, halt the zone, and from the global zone do (as root): # pkg -R /zones/donutshop/root image-update It should move things forward for you. Obviously this is sort of experimental at the moment, and there are some issues. In the future, things will upgrade in-sync with the global zone. -dp -- Daniel Price - Solaris Kernel Engineering - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - blogs.sun.com/dp ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

I have just 2 question about that kind of zones: 1) which is the best way to install new software into a zone? global# pkg -R myzone/root install pkg to install or myzone# pkg install pkg to install 2) which folder and or pkgs could safety remove inside zones to keep them slim? (like /var/pkg/download...) thanks! -- Luca Morettoni luca(AT)morettoni(DOT)net - http://morettoni.net BLOG @ http://morettoni.blogspot.com/ | GPG key 0xD69411BB jugUmbria founder - https://jugUmbria.dev.java.net/ | Thawte notary ITL-OSUG leader - http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/itl-osug/ ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
