Re: [zones-discuss] Problem downloading packages within non-global zone
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 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

If using shared-IP, you can't use DHCP in a non-global zone. You will
have to configure it manually, via an /etc/sysidcfg file on initial
boot, or as Jordan said, answering questions during initial boot after
logging into the zone's console using 'zlogin -C zone name'.
You will have to enter things such as your DNS server (if you want to).
If you are using exclusive IP, the /etc/sysidcfg file can have all the
network information, or you again do it via the prompts on boot.
For a DHCP version of the sysidcfg file, see
http://blogs.sun.com/stw/entry/crossbow_is_delivered_traveling_vnics
Below are sample sysidcfg files I have lying around. I don't set up DNS.
See 'man sysidcfg' to get examples of that.

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 OpenSolaris IPS and zones don't have a concept of sparse and whole root. You have a 'separate' set of IPS packages, and you will have to install the applications into the zone, similar to how you did it for the global zone. You have to separately configuring networking in the non-global zone. ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

OpenSolaris doesn't have anything like sparse-root zones. Each non-global zone (NGZ) has its own set of packages: each has to be managed separately. As Steffen said, you have to configure each NGZ's networking features separately. Did you grab the zone's console after booting it for the first time and walk it through the sysid config screens? They ask you for network configuration parameters. Hope that helps, Jordan ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
