Version 3.1-en Solaris 10 Container Guide - 3.1 5. Cookbooks Effective: 30/11/2009
5.1.10. Configuration and installation of a Solaris 8/Solaris 9 container
[ug] Solaris 8 containers and Solaris 9 containers can be created using 4 simple steps.
1. Planning how the data areas and network interfaces of the sources under Solaris 8 (or Solaris
9) can be represented in the Solaris 10 system.
2. Then the Solaris 8 system is archived. The P2V tool supplied can be used for this, but also
any other archiving tool such as tar or cpio.
3. Next, the zone is configured as a Solaris 8 container (or a Solaris 9 container).
4. The archived system is installed with zoneadm install.
5. Data directories are transported to the new storage architecture.
6. The system is ready for testing.
5.1.11. Optional settings
[dd] Once the zone is configured, changes can be made to the configuration. Some examples are
listed in the following sections based on the sparse-root zone zone1. Modifications to the zone
configuration are activated by restarting the zone.
5.1.11.1. Starting zones automatically
[dd] Zones can be configured such that they are started up immediately after booting the system. In
the original configuration, zones must be started manually by the administrator.
global# zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:zone1> commit
zonecfg:zone1> exit
global#
5.1.11.2. Changing the set of privileges of a zone
[dd] The set of privileges of a local zone can be extended by certain privileges. In this example, the
privileges dtrace_proc and dtrace_user are additionally required within a zone to apply
DTrace to local processes within the own zone (see 4.5.6 DTrace of processes within a zone ).
global# ppriv -l zone | wc -l
global# 68
zone1# ppriv -l zone | wc -l
zone1# 34
global# zonecfg -z zone1
zonecfg:zone1> set limitpriv=default,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user
zonecfg:zone1> commit
zonecfg:zone1> exit
zone1# ppriv -l zone | wc -l
zone1# 36
