Operating Systems Solaris Determine if you are in a Legacy Zone? Post 302962957 by hicksd8 on Monday 21st of December 2015 12:31:28 PM
Old 12-21-2015
Hmmmmm.......that's a good question (and although I've done a lot of work on legacy zones, I don't have one here right now). So I'll just give you my thoughts and you'll have to test them.

If there's a legacy zone (Solaris 8 or 9) running under Solaris 10 (since legacy is not supported under Solaris 11), then it must be whole root since it cannot share the system files with the global. Also, the legacy could be assigned an exclusive network interface for its use, or could share one with the global. I would expect sharing to be indicated by the interface showing as eg, hme0:1, hme0:2, and so on. That might tell you something.

Also, whilst even logged into the legacy as root I would expect commands such as 'format', 'prtdiag', and 'cfgadm' to fail with something like "you don't have the rights to do this" type message.

I would expect:

Code:
# uname -v

to output something like 'Generic' if the machine was not a physical box.

Just a few thoughts and pointers. I'll give it a go myself when I can.

NAME
Test::Inline::Content::Legacy - Test::Inline 2 Content Handler for legacy functions SYNOPSIS
Custom script content generation using Test::Inline 2.000+ with a custom generator functions my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... file_content => $function, ); Migrating this same code to Test::Inline 2.100+ ContentHandler objects my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $ContentHandler = Test::Inline::Content::Legacy->new( $function ); my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... ContentHandler => $ContentHandler, ); DESCRIPTION
This class exists to provide a migration path for anyone using the custom script generators in Test::Inline via the "file_content" param. The synopsis above pretty much says all you need to know. METHODS
new $CODE_ref The "new" constructor for "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" takes a single parameter of a "CODE" reference, as you would have previously provided directly to "file_content". Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" object, or "undef" if not passed a "CODE" reference. coderef The "coderef" accessor returns the "CODE" reference for the object process $Inline $Script The "process" method works with the legacy function by passing the Test::Inline and Test::Inline::Script arguments straight through to the legacy function, and returning it's result as the return value.
