Just to clarify here: if you have a zone root on the root disk and now you want to move it, there is no need to reinstall the zone. You can move zone roots around. Use "zoneadm -z <zone> move <new_zonepath>". Obviously the new path should exist first but in later releases of Solaris 10, at least if you're running zfs, solaris tries to Do The Right Thing. However, you may well not like it's guess so do yourself a favor and create the destination filesystem first (and mount it).

If you have only 2 drives and you understandably want to have those mirrored, slice them and make a separate dg or zpool for the zone roots. You can throw other stuff in that zpool/dg such as home directories but not the Solaris OS. I wouldn't play games with sticking /opt (and certainly not /var) in there since that's inherited/copied by local zones. While you can get away with using the root pool/dg for zone roots and it will indeed let you and you can boot the zone, come time to use Live Upgrade you will find it doesn't work. Even adding patches in the regular manner has trouble with zone root on platform root. ________________________________ From: veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu<mailto:veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu> [mailto:veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu<mailto:veritas-vx-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu>] On Behalf Of William Havey Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 8:56 AM To: veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu<mailto:veritas-vx@mailman.eng.auburn.edu> Subject: [Veritas-vx] Simulator 5.1 and Solaris 10 zones http://support.veritas.com/docs/345258 This technote is on the need to set a service group attribute "ContainerInfo". It doesn't say how, only what. Neither does the Admin Guide say how-to. The Simulator.fails to accept any values for Name, Type, and Enabled. Any help on using the Simulator 5.1 to configure Solaris 10 local zones supporting Oracle 11 would be greatly appreciated. Bill
