I wish the info was more detailed/explicit. How do I use zones
attach/detach to do an image-update on the zone exactly?
# zoneadm -z myzone foo detach
# zoneadm -z myzone foo attach -u
The man page for zoneadm does not describe the -u flag for attach. It
is also unclear to me which zoneadm parameter foo represents.
Sorry, I mistyped the example. It should have been:
# zoneadm -z myzone detach
# zoneadm -z myzone attach -u
The string "foo" should not have been in the example.
The -u flag is not in the zoneadm man page because it is
a brand specific option. Not all brands support -u (e.g. lx
does not). There is no man page for the ipkg brand yet but
you can read about this option on the native(5) man page.
Given I created and updated a BE by doing:
beadm create opensolaris_123
beadm mount opensolaris_123 /mnt
pkg -R /mnt image-update
and I have a non-local zone called master, can you provide the exact
commands I should have run in order for the master zone to be updated to
snv_123 when I boot the opensolaris_123 BE and still have be able to
access a master zone at snv_111 when I boot the opensolaris_111 BE?
Is this what I should have done:
beadm create opensolaris_123
beadm mount opensolaris_123 /mnt
zoneadm -z master detach
pkg -R /mnt image-update
zoneadm -z master attach -u
More like:
beadm create opensolaris_123
beadm mount opensolaris_123 /mnt
pkg -R /mnt image-update
zoneadm -R /mnt -z master detach
zoneadm -R /mnt -z master attach -u
Although I haven't tested that to see if the ipkg brand will
handle the zone update correctly on an alternate root. If
not, thats a bug in the brand. I do know that booting the
opensolaris_123 BE then detaching/attaching the zone will
properly update the zone. We're still working on getting
IPS and zones to work properly together so that the zones
get updated when you image-update the global zone.
? Do I need to recreate the opensolaris_123 BE and do the above in
order to get the master zone properly updated?
No, if you're running opensolaris_123, just detach the zone
then attach -u and the right thing should happen. If the zone
is already up-to-date, then the zone will simply be attached.
