Example: Configure the Failover Zone

In this task you will create a whole root failover non-global zone on node Vigor5.

1. Create a non-global zone to be used as the failover zone

   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z3 <<-EOF create -b set zonepath=/FOZones/z3 set autoboot=false add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/opt/SUNWscmqs end EOF

2. Configure the non-global failover zone, using the file you created.

   Vigor5# zonecfg -z z3 -f /tmp/z3

3. Install the zones.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z3 install

4. Boot the zone.

   Perform this step after the installation of the zones are complete.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z3 boot

5. Log in to the zone and complete the zone system identification.

   Open another window and issue the following command.

   Vigor5# zlogin -C z3

6. Disconnect from the zone console and close the terminal window.

   After you have completed the zone system identification, disconnect from the zone and close the window you previously opened.

   Vigo5# ~. Vigo5# exit

7. Create the appropriate mount points and symlinks for WebSphere MQ in the zone.

   Vigor5# zlogin z3 mkdir -p /var/mqm/log /var/mqm/qmgrs Vigor5# zlogin z3 ln -s /ZFSwmq3/log /var/mqm/log/qmgr3 Vigor5# zlogin z3 ln -s /ZFSwmq3/qmgrs /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgr3

8. Create the WebSphere MQ userid in the zone.

   Vigor5# zlogin z3 groupadd -g 1000 mqm Vigor5# zlogin z3 useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /var/mqm mqm

9. Add the logical host name to /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes in the zone

   The following output shows logical host name entry for qmgr3 in zone z3 .

   Vigor5# zlogin z3 grep qmgr3 /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes /etc/hosts:192.168.1.152 qmgr3 /etc/inet/ipnodes:192.168.1.152 qmgr3
