48Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions support for Solaris ZonesExporting VxVM volumes to a non-global zoneTo export VxVM volumes to a non-global zone1 Create a volume vol1 in the global zone:global# ls -l /dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/vol1crw------- 1 root root 301, 102000 Jun 312:54 /dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/vol1crw------- 1 root sys 301, 102000 Jun 3 12:54 /devices/pseudo/vxio@0:rootdg,vol1,102000,raw2 Add the volume device vol1 to the non-global zone myzone:global# zonecfg -z myzonezonecfg:myzone> add devicezonecfg:myzone:device> set match=/dev/vx/rdsk/mydg/vol1zonecfg:myzone:device> endzonecfg:myzone> commit3 Ensure that the devices will be seen in the non-global zone:global# zoneadm -z myzone haltglobal# zoneadm -z myzone boot4 Verify that /myzone/dev/vx contains the raw volume node and that thenon-global zone can perform I/O to the raw volume node.The exported device can now be used for performing I/O or for creating filesystems.VxVM devices in Solaris 10 global zonesOn the Solaris 10 operating environment, there are two physical nodescorresponding to each volume node entry, /devices and /dev, respectively, withthe same major and minor number. The physical nodes appear as follows:/devices raw volume node : /devices/pseudo/vxio@0:dgname,volname,minor_number,raw/devices block volume node : /devices/pseudo/vxio@0:dgname,volname,minor_number,blk/dev raw volume node : /dev/vx/rdsk/dgname/volumename/dev block volume node : /dev/vx/dsk/dgname/volumenameThe following example provides sample values in /devices:ls -l /devices/pseudo/vxio*vol1*brw------- 1 root sys 302, 66000 Mar 25
