If you're like me and working with zones on your laptop and/or desktop, you probably only have one network interface card to work with. Therefore, the zones I've created share the single network interface with the global zone (ip-type=shared). Behind the scenes, Solaris creates a logical interface for the zone to use. The logical interface appears in ifconfig as your physical interface with an instance number. For example: bleonard@solaris:~$...

If you've preconfigured your zone as I did, you will probably be frustrated that there's no DNS. For example: root@myzone:~# pkg search glassfishpkg: Some servers failed to respond appropriately: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/: node name or service name not known This is easy enough to fix. First, copy the global zone's /etc/resolve.conf file to myzone: bleonard@opensolaris:~$ pfexec cp /etc/resolv.conf /zones/myzone/root/etc/. Then, in the zone, copy /etc/nsswitch.dns...

In the Zones blog I posted a few weeks back, a couple of the steps required interactive configuration. In this entry I'm going to create the same zone, however in a much streamlined manner. Step 1: Create the Zone In this step we can pass a series of settings to the zonecfg command, bypassing the interactive prompts. I've created a file called myzone.config that contains the following: bleonard@opensolaris:~$ cat myzone.configcreateset zonepath=/zones/myzoneset...

How cool would it be to see this the next time you travel? I watched Iron Maiden's latest documentary this past weekend, Flight 666. What I found most impressive was that lead singer Bruce Dickinson pilots the tour plane! This is a Boeing 757 - not some simple Cessna. And If you've seen him on stage you'll wonder where he finds the energy to then fly a plane from Tokyo to Los Angeles. So, what's any of this got to do with OpenSolaris? A friend of mine turned me on to the Iron...

About 25 people attended the July meeting of the Connecticut OpenSolaris User Group on July 1st. Ken Baer assembled a nice list of speakers: Steve Putre of F3 Technology Partners led off with what's new in OpenSolaris 2009.06. OS Ambassador Jeff Victor came in from NY to discuss cool and practical uses for Solaris Containers. Dave Donmoyer came down from New Hampshire to talk about Solaris clustering, including Open HA Cluster. And Elizabeth Matthis came all the way from the...

Codeina's a nifty little feature of OpenSolaris 2009.06. It's an application from Fluendo that points applications such as Totem or Rhythmbox to Fluendo's web shop if you are missing the codec for the file you are trying to play. In the case of MP3s, the codec is free. For other audio and video formats, you'll have to pay a small license fee. For example, when I attempt to play an MP3 in Totem, I'm presented with the following: Clicking Install launches the Codeina Web Shop...

I just returned from the FISL conference in Porto Alegre Brazil. Although all of Sun's free software was represented, OpenSolaris was the star attraction at the show. Throughout the week we hosted an install fest in the Sun booth and it seemed that at all times every square inch of counter top was occupied by a laptop installing OpenSolaris:As most attendees were already using Linux, the most common question I received was "Can I mount my ext3 partition?". The answer is yes -...
