Example: Configure the HA Container

In this task you will install two Solaris Containers on node Vigor5.

1. Create a non-global zone to be used as the HA container.

   If a whole root non-global zone is required you must specify create -b.

   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/failover <<-EOF create set zonepath=/zones/failover set autoboot=false add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/opt/SUNWscsmb end EOF

2. Configure the non-global HA container, using the file you created.

   Vigor5# zonecfg -z failover -f /tmp/failover

3. Install the zones.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z failover install

4. Boot the zone.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z failover boot

5. Log in to the zone and complete the zone system identification.

   Open another window and issue the following command.

   Vigor5# zlogin -C failover

6. Close the terminal window and disconnect from the zone console.

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

   Vigo5# ~.

7. Create local mount points for the HA-ZFS file system with in the zones.

   Vigor5# zlogin failover mkdir /local

8. Create the Samba Fault Monitor Userid in the zones.

   Vigor5# zlogin failover groupadd -g 1000 samba
   Vigor5# zlogin failover useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -s /bin/false homer

9. Halt the zone.

   Vigor5# zlogin failover halt
