18Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions support for Solaris ZonesAbout Solaris ZonesAbout Solaris ZonesSolaris Zones is a software partitioning technology, which provides a means ofvirtualizing operating system services to create an isolated environment forrunning applications. This isolation prevents processes that are running in onezone from monitoring or affecting processes running in other zones.You can configure non-global zones with a shared-IP address or an exclusive-IPaddress. The shared-IP zone shares a network interface with global-zone and theexclusive-IP zone does not share network interface with global-zone.See the System Administration Guide: Solaris Containers--Resource Managementand Solaris Zones Solaris operating environment document.Oracle provides regular updates and patches for the Oracle Solaris Zones feature.Contact Oracle for more information.About VCS support for zonesVCS provides application management and high availability to applicationsrunning in zones.Note: All VxVM components run inside the global zone only. You can mount VxFSfile systems as a loop back file system or as a direct mount from global zone byinstalling the VxFS package in the global zone. In addition, you can directly mounta VxFS file system from non-global zones.The Zone agent is IMF-aware and uses the asynchronous monitoring framework(AMF) kernel driver for IMF notification. For more information about theIntelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) and intelligent resource monitoring,refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide. For more informationabout how to perform intelligent resource monitoring for the Zone agent, see theVeritas Cluster Server Bundled Agents Reference Guide.Overview of how VCS works with zonesYou can use VCS to perform the following:■■Start, stop, monitor, and fail over a non-global zone.Start, stop, monitor, and fail over an application that runs in a zone.
Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions support for Solaris ZonesAbout VCS support for zones19How VCS models containersVCS and the necessary agents run in the global zone. For the applications thatrun in a zone, the agents can run some of their functions (entry points) inside thezone. If any resource faults, VCS fails over the service group with the zone toanother node.You can configure VCS to use Symantec Product Authentication Service to runin a secure environment. Communication from non-global zones to global zonesis secure in this environment.Installing and configuring zones in VCS environmentsInstall and configure the zone. Create the service group with the standardapplication resource types (application, storage, networking) and the Zoneresource. VCS manages the zone as a resource. You then configure the servicegroup’s ContainerInfo attribute.Configuring the ContainerInfo attributeThe service group attribute ContainerInfo specifies information about the zone.When you have configured and enabled the ContainerInfo attribute, you haveenabled the zone-aware resources in that service group to work in the zoneenvironment.VCS defines the zone information at the level of the service group so that you donot have to define it for each resource. You need to specify a per-system value forthe ContainerInfo attribute.About the ContainerInfo service group attributeThe ContainerInfo attribute has the Name key, Type key, and Enabled key. TheName key defines the name of the container. The Type key lets you select the typeof container that you plan to use. The Enabled key enables the Zone-awareresources within the service group. The ContainerInfo attribute specifies if youcan use the service group with the container.Assign the following values to the ContainerInfo attribute:■■■NameThe name of the container.TypeThe type of container. You can set this to Zone.Enabled
