Solaris 10 Branded ZONE in Solaris 11 Host !!!

In this post, I am going to show how to configure and install a branded zone. In my case I am taking my Solaris 11 host as global zone and installing Solaris 10 in it.

We need a branded zone concept when base machine or global zone is of different OS version and if we are in need of another OS version zone within it.

A branded zone should be installed with separate OS unlike for a whole root zone where all packages were copied from global zone and sparse root zone where the global zone packages were shared.

Easy and simple steps to follow while creating a branded zone, just need a flash archive of required OS version...

Renaming Guest LDOM !!!

If we want to rename our guest ldom, we need to do following things :

We can't straight away change our ldom name with a single command, once a ldom is bind and started all its resources are linked with respect to ldom's name. 

So to rename a ldom , firstly we need to stop, unbind it and then we need to remove it.
Then using it's constraints file we can add the domain with its new name.

Following are the steps :

1. Take a fresh backup of constraints for your ldom. (It should be a xml file)

ldm ls-constraints -x testldm >> /tmp/testldm.xml (where testldm is old LDom)

2. Replace the ldom name with it's new name in the file.

vi /tmp/testldm.xml (Replace the old Ldom with new Ldom)

3. Stop,unbind and remove the domain.

ldm stop testldm

ldm unbind testldm

ldm remove-domain testldm

4. Remove the disks assigned to this particular ldom.

ldm list-bindings | grep -i testldm| more (Will list all vdisk names)

ldm remove-vdsdev testldm_disk_1EF3@primary-vds0

ldm remove-vdsdev testldm-1323@primary-vds0

ldm remove-vdsdev testldm-1264@primary-vds0

5. Now there is no info related to old ldom, so proceed by adding ldom with new name using our bkp of constraints file.

ldm add-domain -i /tmp/testldm.xml

ldm bind myprod (where myprod is the new LDom)

ldm start myprod

root@RRLT5DVQA:~# ldm ls | grep myprod
myprod          active     -t----  5003    16    32G      1.2%  1.6%  6s

Thus we can rename a ldom by following above steps.

Hostname Change in Solaris 10 & 11 !!!

In Solaris 10, we all know how to change hostname of server without reboot.
It is so simple, just to edit entry of hostname in few files.

/etc/nodename 
/etc/hostname.*interface 
/etc/inet/hosts or /etc/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes 

Then we need to take care regarding crashdump location. Usually we use default location for crash dump location as /var/crash/"hostname". So rename the directory in this location:

# cd /var/crash
# mv oldname newname

Coming to Solaris 11, modifications need to be done in system configuration can be achieved through single command " svccfg ". By Centralizing such management simplifies Configuration and Administration.

Few example like,

# svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init --- we can modify environmental values like Timezone.

then >setprop TZ=Asia/Calcutta.

Similarly to change hostname, we have svccfg -s svc:/system/identity:node rather than editing individual files like /etc/nodename for hostname and /etc/default/init for Timezone.

To change hostname in Solaris 11 follow these steps :

svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/nodename="MyProdServer"

svccfg -s system/identity:node setprop config/loopback="MyProdServer"

svccfg -s system/identity:node refresh

svcadm restart system/identity:node

As shown above, in identity:node service need to change 2 properties " nodename and loopback ". After setting properties just take a restart of the service to reflect modifications.

Take a new session and observe the change in hostname.

SNAPSHOT from ILOM by CLI and GUI !!!

Snapshot is a utility provided by ILOM to collect SP(Service Processor) data in High end servers like T-series and M-series.

To run the snapshot, we have two methods :
1) ILOM CLI (Command Line Interface).
2) WEBGUI (Graphical User Interface).

Let me start with ILOM CLI, In CLI we use ftp or tftp protocol.
For this we need to login to ILOM.

Here we can observe dump_uri which means, where the snapshot dump should be generated.
So we need to set this dump location.

NOTE: Since snapshot is a large file,ensure the size of desired location before setting dump_uri.

Now Go and collect the zip file of snapshot from provided directory (/tmp).

******************

Next is GUI method :

IN GUI method, we need to login to ILOM ip from browser url :
https://ipaddress/ 

Soon after entering credentials we can login to ILOM and can see a page as shown below :
NOTE : In screens observe the highlighted red box.

Then click on ILOM Administration :

Now click on the maintenance:

After clicking on maintenance, a page will be loaded then select the snapshot :

Then we can observe the option " Run " , click on it.

Now we need to select option " save " the snapshot in our local PC :

Lastly we need to select our desired location to where our snapshot should be downloaded:

Once download gets completed successfully, we can check our given location " My Documents " for the snapshot file.

Currently there are no virtual services under my control domain.

Let us add virtual services starting with virtual switch (vsw).

root-myt5server:~#
root-myt5server:~# dladm show-link
LINK                CLASS     MTU    STATE    OVER
net1                phys      1500   unknown  --
net2                phys      1500   unknown  --
net0                phys      1500   up       --                     we need a netdev for a vsw.
net3                phys      1500   unknown  --

root@testserver:~# ldm add-vsw
Virtual switch service and LDom are missing
Usage:
        ldm add-vsw [-q] [default-vlan-id=<vid>] [pvid=<pvid>]
                [vid=<vid1,vid2,...>] [mac-addr=<num>] [net-dev=<device>]

Next we need a vcc to provide virtual console service to all our guest ldoms,

root-myt5server:~# ldm add-vcc
Usage:
        ldm add-vcc port-range=<x>-<y> <vcc_name> <ldom>
