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="N1 Grid Service Provisioning System 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-SPSRA-ZONE RG=RG-SPSRA PARAMETERDIR=/global/mnt3/zonepar SC_NETWORK=false SC_LH= FAILOVER=true HAS_RS=RS-SPSRA-HAS Zonename=clu1 Zonebootopt= Milestone=multi-user-server Mounts=

10. Create the zone according to the instructions in the Sun 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-SPSRA-ZONE
