Re: [zones-discuss] Problem downloading packages within non-global zone

[Jack LING]

by default, the network configuration of the global zone is set to auto-detect. 
I think this should be dhcp?

Reading Solaris System Administration documentations, hostname.interface 
file(s) under the /etc/inet directory is used for setting static ip address of 
interface(s). I don't know whether OpenSolaris is using the same model? Does it 
actually store network settings somewhere when I manually adjust the network 
settings at the icon shown on the tray?

Since the configuration details are from dhcp, I don't know where to put/modify 
in settings like dns server (after the initial network settings for the 1st 
time login) to the non-global zone.  Which command I can use to know the dns 
settings in the global zone?
 

thanks,
jackling

[zones-discuss] Problem downloading packages within non-global zone

[Jack LING]

dear all,

I've installed mysql and glassfish packages in my OpenSolaris 2009.06 
installation in VirtualBox. Then I created a non-global zone (I think it is 
sparse-root, by default).

Within the non-global zone, mysql  glassfish are unavailable. Actually I 
wanted to confine them to hv them run in non-global zone not global zone.

Questions:
1. would the non-global zone hv access to mysql  glassfish install if I've had 
created the non-global zone 1st THEN downloaded/installed the packages from 
Package Manager?

2. Or by creating a whole root zone would have solved the problem?

3. Networking issue: leaving my non-global zone as it is, I tried to use pkg to 
get and install the mysql  glassfish packages. But it came out error stating 
it could not find the package server. Obviously, it is networking problem 
within the non-global zone whereby it can't locate and connect to the Internet 
WHILE the global zone has no such network problems. Does the non-global zone 
follows the dns configurations of the global zone upon creation or I've to 
manually configure it and how?

thanks in advance,
jackling
