Hi.
I have a customer using SOL 10 1/06 on a development box, needs to
control Hardware resource allocation for software licensing. Wants to
create container/zone, with a separate /var. Also wants to know about
shared packages for creating minimal or sparse zone. Using VxVM and
Vxfs, needs to know if using vxvm vxfs in non-global zone causes any issues.
Does anyone have any information on this.
resource capping are explained in the following by Menno Lageman
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0505/819-2679.pdf
and docs.sun.com at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1592/6mhahuogv?a=view
Not clear what you meant by shared packages, basically one can create a
sparse root zone, and that is the smallest zone in terms of
size/footprint on the system that is possible.
As such with some exception all the global zones package will get
installed in the non global zone ( at least all ON related will anyway ).
Some application software packages such as JES ( Java Enterprise System)
will only install onthe global zone and will not get propogated into
nany future or presnet non global zones, but that is different.
As an aside you coudl perhaps add the zones packages to a minimal
cluster say SUNWCreq
I can provide a list of packgaes to add.
But you would need to test that that meets all your application needs.
If using a seperate /var please ensure that 119254-31/119155-31 is
installed, this is the patch utilites patch and is needed to patch
zopnes with a seperate /var in single user mode.
As for vxfs, it is all good, the only possible issue is upgrade, if the
zone's rootpath is on the vxfs. Nedd someone to clarify that.
otherwise if the zones data is on vxfs then it will all be ok.
