F.7.1 Setting up non-global zones

Set up non-global zones.

See

For details on configuration procedures, refer to the operating system manuals.

In case of cluster operation, refer to the PRIMECLUSTER manuals.

Configuration of non-global zones

Use the zonecfg command to configure the non-global zones.

[Example]

Create the configuration of a non-global zone (zone01).

# zonecfg -z zone01<Enter>

Device assignment

Use "add device" to assign the block devices and raw devices used by AdvancedCopy Manager to the non-global zone.

[Example]

Assign /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 and /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 to a non-global zone (zone01).

zonecfg :zone01> add device <Enter>
zonecfg :zone01:device> set match=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 <Enter>
zonecfg :zone01:device> end <Enter>
zonecfg :zone01> add device <Enter>
zonecfg :zone01:device> set match=/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 <Enter>
zonecfg :zone01:device> end <Enter>

Note 1: Backup and restoration of ZFS is implemented in global zones. For details, refer to "Appendix G Backup and Restoration of ZFS File Systems".

Note 2: Raw devices in non-global zones are formatted as UFS file systems.

Note

For using assigned devices as file systems, do one of the following:
- Mount file systems in non-global zones manually.
- Allocate the devices in /etc/vfstab in order to have the file systems mount them when booting the non-global zones.
If you do not make settings for non-global zones, the display of fetched device information will not reflect devices in non-global zones.
For using PRIMECLUSTER GDS volumes, use the following method for assigning devices. For details, refer to the PRIMECLUSTER GDS manuals.
- Method of using volumes as raw devices from non-global zones

Setting of fs-allowed properties

For mounting in non-global zones, set the fs-allowed properties of the file systems that you use when configuring the non-global zones.

[Example]

Set ufs in the fs-allowed properties.

zonecfg:zone01> set fs-allowed=ufs
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> exit

Installation of non-global zones

If you install non-global zones by migrating an existing system that already has AdvancedCopy Manager's agents installed, uninstall them temporarily and then install them again.
