Hi, My customer developed a package "ISMepcm" which installs a directory /opt/CA. After the ISMepcm package is installed in the global zone, the customer adds a new sparse zone. The directory /opt/CA does not get created in the new zone. They would like to know how to get this working.
Here are the steps to recreate the problem: 1. Install Solaris 10 1/06 with no additional patches. 2. Create a whole root zone "azone". 3. Create a sparse zone "bzone". 4. "pkgadd ISMepcm" in the global zone (available at /net/cores/cores/65076501). Observe that the /opt/CA directory correcly gets created in the global zone, as well as in the existing whole root zone and the existing sparse zone: # cd /opt # ls CA SUNWits SUNWmlib SUNWrtvc # cd /zones/azone/root/opt # ls CA SUNWits SUNWmlib SUNWrtvc # cd /zones/bzone/root/opt # ls CA SUNWits SUNWmlib SUNWrtvc 5. Now that the pkg "ISMepcm" is installed, create another sparse zone "czone". Observe that /opt/CA DOES NOT get created in czone: # cd /zones/czone/root/opt # ls SUNWits SUNWmlib SUNWrtvc There is no indication of a problem with the installation: /zones/czone/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log ... *** package <ISMepcm> successfully installed. ... Thanks in advance for your advice! David Ryder PTS-OE _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
