Hi,
I am new to Solaris containers. Can somebody please clarify the below questions:
1. What are the supported versions of Solaris that support Containers
concept? As per my search on this from "Solaris 10 Update 4 or Update 5"
onwards containers are supported. Am I right?
2. Can raw disks be exported to Solaris containers from global zone? Using
"zonecfg" command we tried exporting devices (disk partitions/SVM volumes) to
containers. Once they have been exported we are unable to see those in the
"/dev/dsk" directory of the non global zone.
Is there a known issue regarding this?
3. Is there any concept of virtual HBA in Solaris Containers? Are external
disks from the storage arrays presented directly to the Solaris container? Can
multipathing software be configured on the Solaris container?
4. Is Volume management (SVM and VxVM) supported inside Solaris containers
today? Some of the old documents show that the volume management commands are
accessible but are modified to display the below message. Is this still valid
today?
VxVM command_xxx ERROR msg_id: Please execute this operation in global zone.
5. Can somebody clarify me whether ZFS is supported for containers? Since
ZFS has the concept of creating pool of devices first and on top of that file
systems can be created. I would like to know what kind of support is there
today for ZFS for Solaris containers?
6. What cluster softwares (Ex: VCS, Solaris) are supported with Solaris
Containers today?
7. Can we get CPU and Memory utilization statistics used by a specific
container (either from with in the container or from global zone)?
8. What databases are supported today for Solaris containers? As per the
bigadmin document "db_in_containers", only non-RAC Oracle is supported by
containers. Is this still valid today or is there support provided for Oracle
RAC?
Is DB2 supported inside containers?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
-Narsimha
