How to Enable a PostgreSQL Database to Run in the Global Zone

For a complete example of deploying in the global zone, see Deployment Example: Installing PostgreSQL in the Global Zone or a Zone Cluster.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the /etc/netmasks file has IP-address subnet and netmask entries for all logical hostnames. If necessary, edit the /etc/netmasks file to add any missing entries.

1. As the root role, register the SUNW.HAStoragePlus and SUNW.gds resource types.

   # clresourcetype register SUNW.HAStoragePlus SUNW.gds

2. Create a failover resource group.

   # clresourcegroup create PostgreSQL-resource-group

3. Create a resource for PostgreSQL's disk storage.

   # clresource create -t SUNW.HAStoragePlus \
   -p FileSystemMountPoints=PostgreSQL-instance-mount-points \
   PostgreSQL-has-resource

4. (Optional) If you plan to access the database from a logical host, choose the following tasks according to your zone type.

   # clreslogicalhostname create -g PostgreSQL-resource-group \
   PostgreSQL-logical-hostname-resource-name

5. Enable the failover resource group.

   # clresourcegroup online -M PostgreSQL-resource-group

6. Create a directory for the HA for PostgreSQL parameter file.

   # mkdir PostgreSQL-instance-mount-points/parameter-dir
