Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 11 to 11.1 update help Post 302981806 by fly3rs on Monday 19th of September 2016 06:51:30 PM

thanks - yes it did update the zone automatically but only after I had trouble configuring the global zone IPS repo. I started out with a fresh 11.0 install and was able to create a zone with 11.0 repo... that zone took a pkg publisher of localhost as the global zone was using file:///export/repo11-0 which is where I copied the download. This is all being done on test system and I'm creating zones as I update - the system I will be working on is 11.0 and has zones on it with no pkg publisher - well they have the default which using oracle web site - there is no internet connection for these systems so I'm having to do it with local IPS repos. This forum won't let me put links in it until I have 5 posts but the pkg publisher on both my zones now are h t t p localhost 1008 solaris. My concern is when I attempt this on production system the update to the zones will not connect to the repo configured on the global zone. The repo on my zones was I guess automatically created when I built them from the corresponding repos... I built one zone at 11.0 it updated to 11.1 when I updated the global zone.. i created another zone with 11.1 repo. Right now I believe both my zones see the 11.1 repo via http connection but not sure what will happen when I change the repo to 11.2 - more so I'm concerned that none of this will work on production system as I belive the 11.0 zones on it where created with .flar file not a IPS repo... any guidance is appreciated.. thanks a lot - Steve

PS - I belive with Solaris 11 and above the zones are called Kernel zones and take the properties of global zone properties..

Here is global zone pkg publisher..

root@suntest:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris origin online F file:///export/11-1repo/
root@suntest:~#

Here are both zones publishers



root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris (syspub) origin online F <system-repository>
root@testzone:~#



The original pkg publisher on teszone after it was created with 11.0repo and pre-update repo was

root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/33282b6a4e23725e2f8bed226e001415c59822cd/
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/85de7030275d53794b9da3089aafe72436621f1f/
root@testzone:~#

then it changed to

root@testzone:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris (syspub) origin online localhost:1008/solaris/64d778c23faf291c05547397679007c683a7d502/
root@testzone:~#

excuse the 2 above results as I can't post URL's yet until I have 5 posts... but there was an h t t p in front of localhost...

and now it's

root@testzone11-1:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
solaris (syspub) origin online F <system-repository>
root@testzone11-1:~#

I guess after the update to 11.1 it no longer points to http connection

Now you see why it's so confusing... I made none of these changes to the zones - it was all done either during initial build or while updating global zone...

NAME

       brands - alternate operating environments for non-global zones

DESCRIPTION

       The branded zone (BrandZ) framework extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure described in zones(5) to include the creation of brands, which
       provide non-global zones that contain non-native operating environments.

       The term "brand" can refer to a wide range of operating environments. All brand management is performed as extensions to the current  zones
       structure.

       Every  zone is configured with an associated brand. The brand type is used to determine which scripts are executed when a zone is installed
       and booted. In addition, a zone's brand is used to properly identify the correct application type at application launch time.  The  default
       is the native brand.

       A  branded  zone  will support exactly one brand of non-native binary, which means that a branded zone provides a single operating environ-
       ment. Once a zone has been assigned a brand, that brand cannot be changed or removed.

       BrandZ extends the zones tools in the following ways:

	   o	  A brand is an attribute of a zone, set at zone create time.

	   o	  The zonecfg tool (see zonecfg(1M)) is used to set a zone's brand type and configure the zone.

	   o	  The zoneadm tool (see zoneadm(1M)) is used to report a zone's brand type and administer the zone.

   Device Support
       The devices supported by each zone are documented in the man pages and other documentation for that brand. The zones infrastructure detects
       any  attempt  to  add  an  unsupported device and issues a warning to the administrator. If the administrator chooses to add an unsupported
       device despite that warning, that device might or might not work as expected. The configuration will be untested and unsupported.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for a description of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
