Re: Question: Zones/Mpxio + Disk Array (HDS 9970V

Hello and thanks a lot for quick answers. By looking at your answer it looks like we are going to go for spare-root model. So, then to my second question which is actually something more of a design question i think... 1, I let's say i have my Main server running with a HBA card attached to a Disk Array (same as mentioned in my earlier question). I create and mount a nice disk 'pool' with ZFS and everything is working perfect. 2, I now create ZONE1. I would then like to mount a /export/home/ftp area on the Disk Array to use as well. Now, What is controlling my access to the HBA card and Disk Array from my Non-Global zone? How do i see my newly created /dev/dsk/... on the Array? Do i have to install the same driver into the non-global zone as i did to the Server itself or? I hope i have succeded in making some sense here since this is bugging me and my Manager a little now.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: [Fwd: Zone boot problems after installing patches]

Hi I guess the problem is that David is using smpatch (our automated patching system ) So in theory he is up to date on his patches ( he has since removed  122660-02  122658-02  122640-05 ) So when I install the following onto a system ( SPARC S10 FCS ) with two zones already running: 119254-25 ( patchutilties patch ) 119578-26 118822-30 118833-18 122650-02 122640-05 And reboot, I too have the same issue, there is no /dev/zfs in my local zones? # zonename global # # cat /etc/release                        Solaris 10 1/06 s10s_u1wos_19a SPARC    # ls /var/sadm/patch 118822-30  119254-26  120900-04  122640-05 118833-18  119578-26  121133-02  122650-02 # uptime   5:48pm  up 2 min(s),  1 user,  load average: 0.58, 0.29, 0.11 # ls /export/zones/sparse-1/dev/zfs /export/zones/sparse-1/dev/zfs: No such file or directory # zlogin sparse-1 ls /dev/zfs /dev/zfs: No such file or directory # I rebooted the zone and then the system, touching /reconfigure, all to no avail I then added the rest of the patches you suggested and rebooted my zones and I had /dev/zfs, strange. But David had all the patches added and still did not get /dev/zfs in the non global zones Enda George Wilson wrote: Apologies for the internal URL, I'm including the list of patches for the everyone's benefit: sparc Patches     * ZFS Patches           o 118833-17 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch           o 118925-02 SunOS 5.10: unistd header file patch           o 119578-20 SunOS 5.10: FMA Patch           o 119982-05 SunOS 5.10: ufsboot patch           o 120986-04 SunOS 5.10: mkfs and newfs patch           o 122172-06 SunOS 5.10: swap swapadd isaexec patch           o 122174-03 SunOS 5.10: dumpadm patch           o 122637-01 SunOS 5.10: zonename patch           o 122640-05 SunOS 5.10: zfs genesis patch           o 122644-01 SunOS 5.10: zfs header file patch           o 122646-01 SunOS 5.10: zlogin patch           o 122650-02 SunOS 5.10: zfs tools patch           o 122652-03 SunOS 5.10: zfs utilities patch           o 122658-02 SunOS 5.10: zonecfg patch           o 122660-03 SunOS 5.10: zoneadm zoneadmd patch           o 122662-02 SunOS 5.10: libzonecfg patch     * Man Pages           o 119246-15 SunOS 5.10: Manual Page updates for Solaris 10     * Other Patches           o 119986-03 SunOS 5.10: clri patch           o 123358-01 SunOS 5.10: jumpstart and live upgrade compliance           o 121430-11 SunOS 5.8 5.9 5.10: Live Upgrade Patch i386 Patches     * ZFS Patches           o 118344-11 SunOS 5.10_x86: Fault Manager Patch           o 118855-15 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch           o 118919-16 SunOS 5.10_x86: Solaris Crypto Framework patch           o 120987-04 SunOS 5.10_x86: mkfs, newfs, other ufs utils patch           o 122173-04 SunOS 5.10_x86: swap swapadd patch           o 122175-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: dumpadm patch           o 122638-01 SunOS 5.10_x86: zonename patch           o 122641-06 SunOS 5.10_x86: zfs genesis patch           o 122647-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: zlogin patch           o 122653-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: utilities patch           o 122659-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: zonecfg patch           o 122661-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: zoneadm patch           o 122663-04 SunOS 5.10_x86: libzonecfg patch           o 122665-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: rnode.h/systm.h/zone.h header file     * Man Pages           o 119247-15 SunOS 5.10_x86: Manual Page updates for Solaris 10     * Other Patches           o 118997-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: format patch           o 119987-03 SunOS 5.10_x86: clri patch           o 122655-05 SunOS 5.10_x86: jumpstart and live upgrade compliance patch           o 121431-11 SunOS 5.8_x86 5.9_x86 5.10_x86: Live Upgrade Patch Thanks, George George Wilson wrote: Dave, I'm copying the zfs-discuss alias on this as well...

He has a V440 running Solaris 10 1/06 with zones. In the case notes he says that he installed a couple Sol 10 patches and now he has problems booting his zones. After doing  some checking he found that it appears to be related to a couple of ZFS patches (122650 and 122640).  I found a bug (6271309 / lack of zvol breaks all ZFS commands), but not sure if it applies to this situation. Any ideas on this. Here is the customers problem description... Hardware Platform: Sun Fire V440 Component Affected: OS Base OS and Kernel Version: SunOS snb-fton-bck2 5.10 Generic_118833-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440 Describe the problem: Patch 122650-02 combined with patch 122640-05 seems to have broken no global zones at boot time. I'm just guessing at the exact patches since they were both added recently, and involve the files /usr/sbin/zfs and /lib/svc/method/fs-local which combined, cause the issue. This section of code in /lib/svc/method/fs-local: if [ -x /usr/sbin/zfs ]; then        /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a >/dev/msglog 2>&1        rc=$?        if [ $rc -ne 0 ]; then                msg="WARNING: /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a failed: exit status $rc"                echo $msg                echo "$SMF_FMRI:" $msg >/dev/msglog                result=$SMF_EXIT_ERR_FATAL        fi fi causes the local file system service to exit with an error, and stop the boot process. The reason why is that the non global zone does not have access to /dev/zfs so the "/usr/sbin/zfs mount -a" command exits with an error code.
