I'm in the process of looking at how to automate solaris zone deployment and configuration management across about 200 physical machines (multiple zones each), and was wondering what other people had done so far. I want to make it as scriptable and flexiable as possible since we have a number of machines to handle. Right now all of our non-zone deployment and management is handled by a combination of jumpstart, cfengine, and mysql, but I'm not certain that's the way to go for zones.
On a related topic, how are people handling third party software and sparse zones? For software that requires its own config file, do you inherit the software directory (/opt/csw, /usr/local, whatever) and use a symlink back to the local zone for the config directory? Do you instead install packages locally in each zone? Thanks for any feedback! _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
