[zones-discuss] Local zone to global zone interaction

I am currently working on a project where I have a number of systems which can host any number of local zones. I have a master server which looks to see which zone is running where and its status. This is all well and good, however, I have a question which may save me many hours of grief with ho

Michael Barrett wrote: When you tell a local zone to use a mount point that is actually a zfs file system as it's home directory, does the local zone think it's a ufs or does it know it's a zfs? Note this is _not_ me importing a legacy set file system into a zone as a zfs type file system.

[zones-discuss] Problem removing multiple filesystems

I'm having the following problem when trying to remove multiple filesystems at once. I can "remove fs" once but when I try to remove a second filesystem in the same session, I get a "No such resource with that id" message, as shown below. I've removed four other filesystems from the output of zo

RE: [zones-discuss] Problem removing multiple filesystems

Sorry to respond to my own post, but I just found out that I don't need to reboot, just exit and re-run zonecfg and the removed fs no longer shows in the info output. Obviously I still have to reboot to make the filesystems actually go away, but I still am unsure why I can't do multiple "remove fs"

Jerry, Yeah, I discovered the workaround this morning as my second post shows. The confirmation that I'm not just doing something dumb is nice, though. :) Strangely, my previous googling didn't find the bug but a search using the text you provided did. Also, I realized that doing "zonecfg -z myzo

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong: I was installing the recommended cluster with the -nosave option, but 118855-36 seems to have an issue with that, if 'patchadd -d' is used that a directory needs to be manually created first. What I did was manually install the latest 119255 (patch uti

AFAIK, no. Ideas previously thrown up includes having the global zone place this information in the local zone's filesystem. E.g. # zoneadm -z boot # echo Global Zone: `hostname` since `date` > `zonecfg -z phd-corner-z info zonepath | cut -f2 -d' '`/root/etc/globalzone_info -- Just me, Wire .
