Dan,
Thank you for the info! I should be able update
my zone create scripts with the info you supplied.
When I said below that sysidcfg wasn't working
right I meant that it works fine (it was asking me
all the right questions that I already gave it with
the script). I just was wondering how to stop the
questions being asked in the first place. Sorry I
wasn't clear about this.
I'll work on my scripts some more and see if I
can get the zone to boot without asking me any
questions.
As for the netservices problem, I was trying to
set up the zone guest so that I could rsh it without
a password. The "netservices open" was failing
and I could not log on to the guest without a passwd.
For testing purposes, we have servers that log onto
clients and run tests. Not having the guest ask for
a password, every time a server tries to log on, is
critical for our tests to function correctly. If you
know of another solution to this problem without
doing a slim_install on the zone client, please let
me know. I'll try the slim_install for now. Thank
you for your help!
Regards,
Paul Southerby

Hi,
I'm able to install an Opensolaris zone guest, but
the guest has about 99 pkgs as opposed to the
global zone that has about 849 pkgs.
Paul,
We've made a choice to have zones be minimized by default.
The 99 pkg zone guest almost works for me. However,
when I run "/usr/sbin/netservices open", I'm getting errors.
You can safely ignore those (or file them as bugs against
netservices). Netservices is trying to enable/disable optional
systems services without testing to see if they are there.
Anyone know what the missing pkgs are in order
to get netservices to run correctly? Or, is there a
way to easily add the missing 750 pkgs onto the zone
guest?
'pkg install slim_install' should give you a zone which matches
the contents of the livecd.
In (very) recent builds, you can do:
zoneadm -z myzone install -e slim_install
And that will do everything.
Also, when I boot up the zone client, I get a lot of network setup
questions. Is there a way to boot up the zone client without being
asked all these questions? I would much rather use a script to supply
all the needed data.
I already have a script, that supplies all the needed data, but there
seems to be some DOT file(?) that is in the zone client /root
directory that starts up the sysidcfg info gathering. Anyone know the
name of this DOT file so that I can remove it with my script?
It's /etc/.UNCONFIGURED
So are you following the procedure documented at
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2450/z.login.task-1?a=view
? (search for "sysidcfg")
You might have to give us more specific details otherwise. If you're
saying that the sysidcfg file stuff isn't working right, that might be a
bug we need to address.
