Example: Configure zones z1 and z2 for Oracle Application Server

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.

   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. Import the ZFS pool into zone z1.

   Perform this step in the global zone only.

   Vigor5# zpool export -f HAZpool4
   Vigor5# zpool import -R /zones/z1/root HAZpool4

9. Add the Oracle Application Server logical hostname to /etc/hosts in the zones.

   Vigor5# zlogin z1
   # cat >> /etc/hosts <<-EOF 192.168.1.153 oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g EOF
   # exit
   Vigor5# zlogin z2
   # cat >> /etc/hosts <<-EOF 192.168.1.153 oas10g.uk.sun.com oas10g EOF
   # exit

10. Create the Oracle Application Server userid in the zones.

    Perform this step from the global zone .

    Vigor5# zlogin z1
    # mkdir -p /ZFSoracle/oraInfra
    # groupadd -g 3000 dba
    # useradd -u 4000 -g 3000 -d /ZFSoracle/oraInfra -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle
    # exit
    Vigor5# zlogin z2
    # groupadd -g 3000 dba
    # useradd -u 4000 -g 3000 -d /ZFSoracle/oraInfra -s /usr/bin/ksh oracle
    # exit

11. Setup file permissions in the ZFS pool.

    Perform this step in zone z1 only.

    Vigor5# zlogin z1
    # chown -R oracle:dba /ZFSoracle
    # exit

12. Plumb the Oracle Application Server logical hostname in zone z1.

    Perform this step in the global zone.

    Vigor5# ifconfig e1000g0 addif oas10g up zone z1
