Configuring VCS/SF in a
branded zone environment
You must perform the
following steps on the Solaris 11 systems.
To configure VCS/SF in a
branded zone environment
1. Install VCS, SF, or SFHA as required in
the global zone.
See the Symantec Cluster
Server Installation Guide.
See the Symantec Storage
Foundation and High Availability Installation Guide.
2. Configure a solaris10 branded zone. For
example, this step configures a solaris10 zone.
• Run the following command in the global zone as the global
administrator:
• # zonecfg -z sol10-zone
• sol10-zone: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin
configuring a new zone.
• Create the solaris10 branded zone using the SYSsolaris10
template.
zonecfg:sol10-zone>
create -t SYSsolaris10
• Set the zone path. For example:
zonecfg:sol10-zone>
set zonepath=/zones/sol10-zone
Note that zone root for
the branded zone can either be on the local storage or the shared storage VxFS,
UFS, or ZFS.
• Add a virtual network interface.
• zonecfg:sol10-zone> add net
• zonecfg:sol10-zone:net> set physical=net1
• zonecfg:sol10-zone:net> set address=192.168.1.20
zonecfg:sol10-zone:net>
end
• Verify the zone configuration for the zone and exit the
zonecfg command prompt.
• zonecfg:sol10-zone> verify
zonecfg:sol10-zone>
exit
The zone configuration
is committed.
3. Verify the zone information for the
solaris10 zone you configured.
# zonecfg -z sol10-zone
info
Review the output to
make sure the configuration is correct.
4. Install the solaris10 zone that you
created using the flash archive you created previously.
See Preparing to migrate
a VCS cluster.
# zoneadm -z sol10-zone
install -p -a /tmp/sol10image.flar
After the zone
installation is complete, run the following command to list the installed zones
and to verify the status of the zones.
# zoneadm list -iv
5. Boot the solaris10 branded zone.
6. # /usr/lib/brand/solaris10/p2v
sol10-zone
# zoneadm -z sol10-zone
boot
After the zone booting
is complete, run the following command to verify the status of the zones.
# zoneadm list -v
7. Configure the zone with following
command:
# zlogin -C sol10-zone
8. Install VCS in the branded zone:
• Install only the following VCS 6.1 packages:
• VRTSperl
• VRTSvlic
• VRTSvcs
• VRTSvcsag
9. If you configured Oracle to run in the
branded zone, then install the VCS agent for Oracle packages (VRTSvcsea) and
the patch in the branded zone.
See the Symantec Cluster
Server Agent for Oracle Installation and Configuration Guide for installation
instructions.
10. For ODM support, install the following
additional packages and patches in the branded zone:
• Install the following 6.1 packages:
• VRTSvlic
• VRTSvxfs
• VRTSodm
11. If using ODM support, relink Oracle ODM
library in solaris10 branded zones:
• Log into Oracle instance.
• Relink Oracle ODM library.
If you are running
Oracle 10gR2:
$ rm
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so
$ ln -s
/opt/VRTSodm/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so \
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm10.so
If you are running
Oracle 11gR1:
$ rm
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm11.so
$ ln -s
/opt/VRTSodm/lib/sparcv9/libodm.so \
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm11.so
• To enable odm inside branded zone, enable odm in global zone
using smf scripts as described as below:
• global# svcadm enable vxfsldlic
global# svcadm enable
vxodm
To use ODM inside
branded zone, export /dev/odm, /dev/fdd, /dev/vxportal devices and
/etc/vx/licenses/lic directory.
global# zoneadm -z
myzone halt
global# zonecfg -z
myzone
zonecfg:myzone> add
device
zonecfg:myzone:device>
set match=/dev/vxportal
zonecfg:myzone:device>
end
zonecfg:myzone> add
device
zonecfg:myzone:device>
set match=/dev/fdd
zonecfg:myzone:device>
end
zonecfg:myzone> add
device
zonecfg:myzone:device>
set match=/dev/odm
zonecfg:myzone:device>
end
zonecfg:myzone> add
device
zonecfg:myzone:device>
set match=/dev/vx/rdsk/dg_name/vol_name
zonecfg:myzone:device>
end
zonecfg:myzone> add
device
zonecfg:myzone:device>
set match=/dev/vx/dsk/dg_name/vol_name
zonecfg:myzone:device>
end
zonecfg:myzone> add
fs
zonecfg:myzone:fs>
set dir=/etc/vx/licenses/lic
zonecfg:myzone:fs>
set special=/etc/vx/licenses/lic
zonecfg:myzone:fs>
set type=lofs
zonecfg:myzone:fs>
end
zonecfg:myzone> set
fs-allowed=vxfs,odm
zonecfg:myzone>
verify
zonecfg:myzone>
commit
zonecfg:myzone>
exit
global# zoneadm -z
myzone boot
Configure the resources in the VCS configuration file in
the global zone. The following example shows the VCS configuration when VxVM
volumes are exported to zones via zone configuration file:
group zone-grp (
SystemList = { vcs_sol1 = 0, vcs_sol2 = 1 }
ContainterInfo@vcs_sol1 {Name = sol10-zone, Type =
Zone,Enabled = 1 }
ContainterInfo@vcs_sol2 {Name = sol10-zone, Type =
Zone, Enabled = 1 }
AutoStartList = { vcs_sol1 }
Administrators = { "z_z1@vcs_lzs@vcs_sol2.symantecexample.com"
}
)
DiskGroup zone-oracle-dg (
DiskGroup = zone_ora_dg
)
Volume zone-oracle-vol (
Volume = zone_ora_vol
DiskGroup = zone_ora_dg
)
Netlsnr zone-listener (
Owner = oracle
Home = "/u01/oraHome"
)
Oracle zone-oracle (
Owner = oracle
Home = "/u01/oraHome"
Sid = test1
)
Zone zone-res (
)
zone-res requires
zone-oracle-vol
zone-oracle-vol requires
zone-oracle-dg
zone-oracle requires zone-res
