B.1.4 Network configuration in the Solaris container

This section describes an example configuration procedure of the network shown in the diagram below.

[HOST-A]

1) Setting up the system

1-1) Define IP addresses and hostnames in /etc/inet/hosts file.

192.168.70.1    host11   # HOST-A Physical IP (1)
192.168.71.1    host12   # HOST-A Physical IP (2)
192.168.80.1    hosta    # HOST-A Virtual IP
192.168.70.2    host21   # HOST-B Physical IP (1)
192.168.71.2    host22   # HOST-B Physical IP (2)
192.168.80.2    hostb    # HOST-B Virtual IP
192.168.80.10   zone0    # zone0 Logical IP

1-2) Write the hostnames defined above in /etc/hostname."interface-name" files. If a file does not exist, create a new file.

Contents of /etc/hostname.hme0
host11
Contents of /etc/hostname.hme1
host12

1-3) Define the subnet mask in /etc/inet/netmasks file.

192.168.70.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.71.0    255.255.255.0
192.168.80.0    255.255.255.0

2) Reboot

Run the following command to reboot the system. Make sure hme0 and hme1 are enabled as IPv4 interfaces after rebooting the system.

/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g0

3) Creation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetconfig create -n sha0 -m t -i 192.168.80.1 -t hme0,hme1

4) Activation of virtual interface

/opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet

5) Set up a zone

Set up a zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zonecfg -z zone0

5-1) Create a zone.

zonecfg:zone0> create
zonecfg:zone0> set zonepath=/zones/zone0

5-2) Specify an IP address that is allocated to the zone and the virtual interface name that is defined in fast switching mode.

zonecfg:zone0> add net
zonecfg:zone0:net> set address=192.168.80.10/24
zonecfg:zone0:net> set physical=sha0
zonecfg:zone0:net> end

5-3) Check the above setting.

zonecfg:zone0> export

5-4) Check setup consistency.

zonecfg:zone0> verify

5-5) Register the setting.

zonecfg:zone0> commit
zonecfg:zone0> exit

6) Install the zone

Install the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 install

Note

When a zone is booted for the first time after installation, the zone is in an unconfigured state. Therefore, it is necessary to define an internal zone configuration. Please refer to the manual of Solaris for the definition methods.

7) Start up the zone

Start up the zone by executing the following command:

/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z zone0 boot
