Hi Will --

Could you file a bug on that, and someone on sysconfig
can follow up on it.

Please tell me the product/cat/subcat I should use in bugster.


It is:
solaris/install/configuration

Thank you very much for doing this.

I created
7144647 sysconfig insisting on input files having .xml suffix is unnecessary

The reason I phrased it this way is this (from another e-mail thread on
a different list):


sysconfig also requires the .xml extension for files input to it but doesn't
require it when it creates an XML profile.  I guess I don't care that
SMF requires the .xml extension but it does bug me that I can't do:

sysconfig create-profile -o /tmp/myprofile
sysconfig configure -c /tmp/myprofile

because sysconfig configure will error out telling me I need to add the
.xml to myprofile.  Maybe the better answer is for zoneadm and sysconfig
to just add .xml to whatever it feeds to SMF.

I think the simpler way of putting is: requiring an .xml extension when
scanning a directory is logical, requiring an .xml extension when I explicitly
provide the name of a file to be parsed seems unnecessary.

Possibly. I'm not sure why the .xml extension was made the requirement.
I'll ask someone who was part of that decision and see if there was a

Yes, I see that now, thanks.  I think some additional examples in the
zoneadm man page that use specific brand options would be helpful and in
the brands.5 man page additional explanation as to which of the things
in the See Also section are brand instances and also that these brand
instance man pages contain information on zoneadm subcommand arguments
that are associated with that particular brand.

The system isn't completely on line, which I think accounts for the 
svcadm error.


You are, in effect, trying to run sysconfig when it is already running.


Unable to initiate unconfiguration process.

Note that as I stare at the sysconfig man page I am becoming less
certain that the example it has of:

  The following sequence of commands creates a  profile,  then
  uses it to reconfigure a system.

# sysconfig create-profile -o /tmp/myprofile.xml
# sysconfig configure -g system -c /tmp/myprofile.xml

is correct.  I say this because I've literally been using "-g system"
but when I read the section on functional groups which I guess -g is
used to specify there doesn't appear to be a "system" group.  I just
opened a bug against that man page on this issue.


Actually "system" is the grouping for the whole system. If that isn't
clear, then it needs to be fixed. Thanks for filing the bug.

The man pages are a little hard to read due to separation between the
generic options and the brand-specific options.  Notice in zoneadm(1M)
that you see:

 install [brand-specific options]

  ...

 The zone's brand may  include  additional  options  that
 govern  how  the software will be installed in the zone.
 See brands(5) for specific brand information.

Thus begins the twisty passages, all looking the same.  brands(5) refers
to solaris(5), solaris10(5), and other man pages.  To see the options
available for solaris (the default) branded zones, you want to look at
solaris(5).  There you will see:

 install [-m manifest.xml] [-c config_profile.xml | dir]
 install [-a archive | -d path | -z ZBE] [-p] [-s] [-u] [-v]
 [-c config_profile.xml | dir]

...

Also, if you do 'zoneadm help' you will see that the help messages refer
to brands(5).  If you do 'zoneadm -z  help' you will see that
the help messages refer to the right brand's man page.  e.g.

# zoneadm -z z1 help install
usage:  install [brand-specific args]
Install the configuration on to the system.
All arguments are passed to the brand installation function;
see solaris(5) for more information.

Ah, bitten by indirection once again.  This is one of the reasons I

That is good info, thanks.  Of course now I see another problem.  In

sysconfig created profile like so:

Step 3: Create webzone-2 by Cloning webzone-1

Next create webzone-2 using the modified configuration (by using zonecfg), and 
then perform the clone of webzone-1 (by using zoneadm). Remember to add the 
full path to the system config template. Note how quickly the clone is 
completed. (We can see this by prepending the time command to our zonecfg clone 
command.)

/zones/webzone-2-template.xml webzone-1

However, the only description of -c I find in the S11 zoneadm man page

clone?

Re: [zones-discuss] issue with zones and sysconfig

2012-02-09 Thread Hung-Sheng Tsao (Lao Tsao 老曹) Ph.D. 

please check
solaris(5)
   The following solaris brand-specific subcommand options are
   supported by zoneadm(1M)
   
.

clone [-c config_profile.xml | dir]

   -c config_profile.xml | dir

   Provides a profile or a directory of profiles to apply after
   installation from the repository.

   All profiles must have an .xml extension.

That is good info, thanks.  Of course now I see another problem.  In
that guide above there is an example of having zoneadm clone use the
sysconfig created profile like so:

Step 3: Create webzone-2 by Cloning webzone-1

Next create webzone-2 using the modified configuration (by using zonecfg), and 
then perform the clone of webzone-1 (by using zoneadm). Remember to add the 
full path to the system config template. Note how quickly the clone is 
completed. (We can see this by prepending the time command to our zonecfg clone 
command.)

root@global:~# zonecfg -z webzone-2 -f /zones/webzone-2-profile
root@global:/zones# time zoneadm -z webzone-2 clone -c 
/zones/webzone-2-template.xml webzone-1

However, the only description of -c I find in the S11 zoneadm man page
is for list.  Can someone confirm that -c  works
for clone?  Also how do I use -c when creating a new zone that is not a
clone?

Yes.  Let me provide more detail:

# zonecfg -z mit -f /tmp/zonecfg-file
# zoneadm -z mit install
# zoneadm -z mit boot
# cp /tmp/mit.profile.xml /zones/mit/root/var/tmp/
# zlogin mit /usr/sbin/sysconfig configure -g system -c /var/tmp/mit.profile.xml
svcadm: No such instance "svc:/system/svc/restarter:default".

Unable to initiate unconfiguration process.

Note that as I stare at the sysconfig man page I am becoming less
certain that the example it has of:

 The following sequence of commands creates a  profile,  then
 uses it to reconfigure a system.

   # sysconfig create-profile -o /tmp/myprofile.xml
   # sysconfig configure -g system -c /tmp/myprofile.xml

is correct.  I say this because I've literally been using "-g system"
but when I read the section on functional groups which I guess -g is
used to specify there doesn't appear to be a "system" group.  I just
opened a bug against that man page on this issue.
