NFS server on Legacy Container?

Hi All,

I have a problem as follows.

Historically, there was an Ultra10 workstation running Solaris 8 using automount to access NFS volumes on a Solaris 8 server.

The Ultra 10 was retired and the Solaris 8 server has been migrated to a Legacy Container (Solaris 8 Branded, whole root, excl IP) running under a Solaris 10 Global Zone. The Legacy Container has been running successfully for months.

Now we need to bring the Ultra10 workstation out of retirement and allow it to use its automount to get at volumes (/home and others) on the Legacy Container. Anyone in this community done this? I understand that a local zone cannot be a NFS server according to Oracle.

All filesystems in use everywhere are UFS.

I tried sharing the required local zone mount points from the global zone but this seems to give very odd results. (Makes some files available/visible but not others.)

Using Google I came across a package called SUNWzone-share-nfs but cannot find or download this from anywhere. Anybody used this? I don't know whether it is/was official Oracle/Sun or third-party.

Any advice welcomed.

Thx in adv,
Hicksd8

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
zone valid zoneid_t structure that refers to a running zone. DESCRIPTION
The net_zoneidtonetid() function maps the given zoneid_t structure (used to represent a zone that is currently running) into a netid_t structure that is associated with the IP instance supporting network functions for that zone. RETURN VALUES
The net_zoneidtonetid() function returns -1 if no mapping took place. Otherwise, it returns the netid_t structure currently used by the zoneid_t structure. For zones that are using a shared IP instance, the netid_t structure for the instance owned by the global zone is returned. CONTEXT
