Example: Configuring the Failover Zone

1. On shared cluster storage, create a directory for the failover zone root path.

   This example presents a sparse root zone. You can use a whole root zone if that type better suits your configuration.

   phys-schost-1# mkdir /global/mnt3/zones

2. Create a temporary file, for example /tmp/x, and include the following entries:

   create -b
   set zonepath=/global/mnt3/zones/clu1
   set autoboot=false
   set pool=pool_default
   add inherit-pkg-dir
   set dir=/lib
   end
   add inherit-pkg-dir
   set dir=/platform
   end
   add inherit-pkg-dir
   set dir=/sbin
   end
   add inherit-pkg-dir
   set dir=/usr
   end
   add net
   set address=ha-host-1
   set physical=hme0
   end
   add attr
   set name=comment
   set type=string
   set value="Apache Tomcat cluster zone" Put your desired zone name between the quotes here.
   end

3. Configure the failover zone, using the file you created.

   phys-schost-1# zonecfg -z clu1 -f /tmp/x

4. Install the zone.

   phys-schost-1# zoneadm -z clu1 install

5. Log in to the zone.

   phys-schost-1# zlogin -C clu1

6. Open a new window to the same node and boot the zone?

   phys-schost-1a# zoneadm -z clu1 boot

7. Close this terminal window and disconnect from the zone console.

   phys-schost-1# ~~.

8. Copy the containers configuration file to a temporary location.

   phys-schost-1# cp /opt/SUNWsczone/sczbt/util/sczbt_config /tmp/sczbt_config

9. Edit the /tmp/sczbt_config file and set variable values as shown:

   RS=RS-TOM-ZONE
   RG=RG-TOM
   PARAMETERDIR=/global/mnt3/zonepar
   SC_NETWORK=false
   SC_LH=
   FAILOVER=true
   HAS_RS=RS-TOM-HAS
   
   
   Zonename=clu1
   Zonebootopt=
   Milestone=multi-user-server
   Mounts=

10. Create the zone according to the instructions in the Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Solaris Containers GuideOracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for Solaris Containers Guide.
11. Register the zone resource.

    phys-schost-1# ksh /opt/SUNWsczone/sczbt/util/sczbt_register -f /tmp/sczbt_config

12. Enable the zone resource.

    phys-schost-1# clresource enable RS-TOM-ZONE
