Example: Configuring the Non-Global Zones

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

1. On local cluster storage create a directory for the non-global zones root path.

   Vigor5# mkdir /zones

2. Create a temporary file for the whole root zone, for example /tmp/whole, and include the following entries.

   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/whole <<-EOF create -b set zonepath=/zones/whole EOF

3. Create a temporary file for the sparse root zone, for example /tmp/sparse, and include the following entries.

   Vigor5# cat > /tmp/sparse <<-EOF create set zonepath=/zones/sparse EOF

4. Configure the non-global zones, using the files you created.

   Vigor5# zonecfg -z whole -f /tmp/whole
   Vigor5# zonecfg -z sparse -f /tmp/sparse

5. Install the zones.

   Open two windows and issue the following command in each window.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z whole install
   Vigor5# zoneadm -z sparse install

6. Boot the zones.

   Vigor5# zoneadm -z whole boot
   Vigor5# zoneadm -z sparse boot

7. Log in to the zones and complete the zone system identification.

   Vigor5# zlogin -C whole
   Vigor5# zlogin -C sparse

8. Close the terminal windows and disconnect from the zone consoles.

   After you have completed the zone system identification, disconnect from the two windows your previously opened.

   Vigo5# ~.

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

   Vigor5# zlogin whole mkdir /local
   Vigor5# zlogin sparse mkdir /local
