Example: Configure two Non-Global Zones

Perform all steps within this example in the global zone.

1. On local storage create a directory for the non-global zones root path.

   Vigor5# mkdir /zones

2. Create a temporary file for the whole root zones, for example /tmp/z1 and /tmp/z2, and include the following entries:

   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z1 <<-EOF create -b set zonepath=/zones/z1 EOF
   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z2 <<-EOF create -b set zonepath=/zones/z2 EOF

3. Configure the non-global zones, using the files you created.

   Vigor5# zonecfg -z z1 -f /tmp/z1
   Vigor5# zonecfg -z z2 -f /tmp/z2

4. Install the zones.

   Open two windows and issue the following command in each window.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z1 install
   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z2 install

5. Boot the zones.

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

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z1 boot
   Vigor5# zoneadm -z z2 boot

6. Log in to the zones and complete the zone system identification.

   Vigor5# zlogin -C z1
   Vigor5# zlogin -C z2

7. Close the terminal window and disconnect from the zone consoles.

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

8. Create the appropriate mount points and symlinks for the queue manager in the zone.

   Vigor5# zlogin z1 mkdir -p /var/mqm/log /var/mqm/qmgrs
   Vigor5# zlogin z1 ln -s /ZFSwmq1/log /var/mqm/log/qmgr1
   Vigor5# zlogin z1 ln -s /ZFSwmq1/qmgrs /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgr1
   Vigor5#
   Vigor5# zlogin z2 mkdir -p /var/mqm/log /var/mqm/qmgrs
   Vigor5# zlogin z2 ln -s /ZFSwmq1/log /var/mqm/log/qmgr1
   Vigor5# zlogin z2 ln -s /ZFSwmq1/qmgrs /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgr1

9. Create the WebSphere MQ userid in the zones.

   Vigor5# zlogin z1 groupadd -g 1000 mqm
   Vigor5# zlogin z1 useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /var/mqm mqm
   Vigor5#
   Vigor5# zlogin z2 groupadd -g 1000 mqm
   Vigor5# zlogin z2 useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /var/mqm mqm

10. Add the logical host name to /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes in the zones.

    The following output shows the logical host name entry for qmgr1 in zones z1 and z2.

    Vigor5# zlogin z1 grep qmgr1 /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes
    192.168.1.150    qmgr1
    Vigor5# zlogin z2 grep qmgr1 /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes
    /etc/hosts:192.168.1.150    qmgr1
    /etc/inet/ipnodes:192.168.1.150    qmgr1
