Example: Configuring the Zone

In this task you will install the Oracle Solaris Container on phys-schost-1 and phys-schost-2. Therefore perform this procedure on both hosts.

1. On local cluster storage of , create a directory for the 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 /zones

2. Create a temporary file, for example /tmp/x, and include the following entries:

   create -b
   set zonepath=/zones/clu1
   set autoboot=true
   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=hahostix1
   set physical=bge0
   end
   add attr
   set name=comment
   set type=string
   set value="PostgreSQL cluster zone" Put your desired zone name between the quotes here.
   end

3. Configure the HA container, 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# ~~.
