Hi,

Cool, no probs. I was merely asking in regards to general advice, or things you've learnt that if you had to do it all again, you would do differently. I appiecate that it all depends on my apps.

From reading various docs, Im going down the whole root zone, as I have plenty of local disk space. Im going to run about 6 zones tops. 4 of these will be oracle db's, and 4 of the zones will be branded with sol8 or 9.

As for Nics, well Ive got to quad cards, so will be working out if I need to VLAN / trunking, again depends on the app requirements and network addresses. At the moment I plan to ipmp 2 ports for the Global Zone, 2 more for the a backup network, the last four for either trunking or vlan. Can ipmp devices that you have trunked ? or do I need two truncks then ipmp them?

Going to use the onbaord nic, lets call ti ce0, for all the managment NIIC's of the zones.

What Im more unclear at, is zone names, best naming for the zone roots, ie. /export/local-zones/hq-db1-sol8-zone1 i.e. naming policy.

Also, little unclear on whether I should allocation 1 or 2 cpus to one zone, and Fair share policy the others, ?(server have 4 cpus / 2 system boards) or just FSS the lot ? Not sure the pros cons of this.


Cheers for your replies gents :-)

zcons

zcons(7D)							      Devices								 zcons(7D)

NAME

       zcons - Zone console device driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  zcons character driver exports the console for system zones. The driver is comprised of two "sides:" a master side with which applica-
       tions in the global zone communicate, and a slave side, which receives I/O from the master side. The slave side is available in the  global
       zones.

       Applications must not depend on the location of /dev or /devices entries exported by zcons. Inside a zone, the zcons slave  side is fronted
       by /dev/console and other console-related  symbolic links, which are used by applications that expect to write to the system console.

       The zcons driver is Sun Private, and may change in future releases.

FILES

       /dev/zcons/<zonename>/masterconsole

	   Global zone master side console for zone <zonename>.

       /dev/zcons/<zonename>/slaveconsole

	   Global zone slave side console for zone <zonename>.

       /dev/zconsole

	   Non-global zone console (slave side).
