Creating and Installing zones

Creating and installing zones

Please note that going forward we can use the “clone” command to replicate zones once we have made one non-global zone.

bash-3.00# zonecfg -z zone1
ts04_zone1: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> create -b
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> info
zonename: zone1
zonepath: 
brand: native
autoboot: false
bootargs: 
pool: 
limitpriv: 
scheduling-class: 
ip-type: shared
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> set zonepath=/zones/zone1
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> set zonename=slurm1
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> add net
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:net> set address=xx.xx.xx.xx
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:net> set physical=hme0
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:net> end
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> add capped-memory
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:capped-memory> set physical=1792m
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:capped-memory> set swap=2048m
zonecfg:ts04_zone1:capped-memory> end
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> verify
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> export
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/zone1
set autoboot=true
set ip-type=shared
add net
set address=xx.xx.xx.xx
set physical=hme0
end
add capped-memory
set physical=1.8G
end
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> commit
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> export -f /zones/config_zones/slurm.cfg
zonecfg:ts04_zone1> exit
bash-3.00#
bash-3.00# chmod 700 /zones/zone1
bash-3.00# zoneadm -z zone1 verify
bash-3.00# zoneadm -z zone1 install


Next Step:

Then create the sysidcfg file: 


hostA-global# cat > /zones/zone1/root/etc/sysidcfg 

name_service=NONE

network_interface=primary {
        netmask=xx.xx.xx.xx
        default_route=xx.xx.xx.xx
        protocol_ipv6=no
}

security_policy=NONE

root_password=xxxxxxxxxxx

system_locale=en_IE

timezone=Eire

timeserver=xx.xx.xx.xx

terminal=vt100



Next step:

touch /zones/zone1/root/etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain

Once the zones are installed run the following commands:


zoneadm -z zone1 boot

Do the above for all new zones

Login to console of global zone and do the following:
zlogin -C zone1 

Then install the OS
