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 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-TOM-ZONE
