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.
If you use the MPLB resources, refer to the ETERNUS Multipath Driver 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>

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

*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 does not reflect devices in non-global zones.
For using PRIMECLUSTER GD volumes, use the following method for assigning devices. For details, refer to the PRIMECLUSTER GD manuals.
- Method of using volumes as raw devices from non-global zones

Setting of fs-allowed Properties

Perform the following operation only if the operating system of global zone is Solaris 11.
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

Reflection and Saving of Configuration Modification

Reflect and save the configuration modification of non-global zones.

[Example]

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.
