Hi all,
i am new learner in Zoning and virtualization Technology and i have some question's about it
i create zone using this step
zonecfg -z app-apache
create
set zonepath=/zone_adm/app-apache
add net
set address=192.168.1.250
set physical=bge0
end
set autoboot=true
verify
commit
exit
zoneadm -z app-apache install
zoneadm -z app-apache boot
zlogin -C app-apache


this is the path of the file created by zonecfg
/etc/zones/app-apache.xml
and i want to add some inherited directory
is there any problem about edit this file manually
is that correct to inherit all folder and file from global zone
how to edit zone already running
add inherited directory by command line
how to assign for example 25% from processor to this zone
how to assign for example 25% from memory to this zone



when i write this command when i enter the zone console
dladm show-link
to know the interface name
give me this error
why i see this error also i enter this zone as root user



if i use the zone for example app-apache and don't have privilleges to work in globale zone (how to know the globale machine name)


Network Question
when i configure the zone for the first time i set static IP
when i enter the zone and make vi /etc/hostname.bge0 to see my IP i didn't found this file where is the Static IP set for this zone

Note
thanks in advance and sorry for this too question but Zoning and virtualization is very interest topic to learn and also have a lot of advantage

I am a newbie for solaris ,I just follow the doc to set up zone step by step
but at last ,I met some problems when I used zlogin to login ,although the zone seems be running.

And who can explain the add dataset step in zonecfg ?
I mean when should I use add dataset ,in my configuration ,no dataset was set,but it also works .

Give us link to doc you used to create mysql1 zone. As for adding datasets, it is used to delegate full control over added ZFS filesystem to zone, so within that zone new ZFS filesystems can be created, as well as snapshots etc.

tks a lot ,but from the info I pasted ,could you give me some solution?

Well I've never seen that problem before so I don't know what might go wrong. So steps you used to create that zone would help very much. I can see you have another zone there. Is it working? No problems with mounting ZFS in mysql2?

It is certainly a very bad idea to inherit /etc which contains configuration files that must be unique to each zone. It might even break the global zone.

thanks sir for your effort
did you know how to reconfigure zone already exist?
vi command
please explain
