Example: Configure the HA Container

In this task you will create a whole root failover non-global zone on node Vigor5.

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

Vigor5# cat > /tmp/z3 <<-EOF create -b set zonepath=/FOZones/z3 set autoboot=false add inherit-pkg-dir set dir=/opt/SUNWscmqs end EOF

Configure the non-global HA container, using the file you created.
```
Vigor5# zonecfg -z z3 -f /tmp/z3
```
Install the zones.
```
Vigor5# zoneadm -z z3 install
```
Boot the zone.
Perform this step after the installation of the zones are complete.
```
Vigor5# zoneadm -z z3 boot
```
Log in to the zone and complete the zone system identification.
Open another window and issue the following command.
```
Vigor5# zlogin -C z3
```
Disconnect from the zone console and close the terminal window.
After you have completed the zone system identification, disconnect from the zone and close the window you previously opened.
```
Vigo5# ~.
Vigo5# exit
```

Create the appropriate mount points and symlinks for WebSphere MQ in the zone.

Vigor5# zlogin z3 mkdir -p /var/mqm/log /var/mqm/qmgrs
Vigor5# zlogin z3 ln -s /ZFSwmq3/log /var/mqm/log/qmgr3
Vigor5# zlogin z3 ln -s /ZFSwmq3/qmgrs /var/mqm/qmgrs/qmgr3

Create the WebSphere MQ userid in the zone.

Vigor5# zlogin z3 groupadd -g 1000 mqm
Vigor5# zlogin z3 useradd -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /var/mqm mqm

Add the logical host name to /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/ipnodes in the zone
The following output shows logical host name entry for qmgr3 in zone z3 .
```
Vigor5# zlogin z3 grep qmgr3 /etc/hosts /etc/inet/ipnodes
/etc/hosts:192.168.1.152    qmgr3
/etc/inet/ipnodes:192.168.1.152    qmgr3
```
