Adding a Raw Disk device

We can either add a slice or a complete raw disk to the non global zone. In case of a full
disk use s2 slice or else use any other slice you want to add.
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add device
zonecfg:zone01:device> set match=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6
zonecfg:zone01:device> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01>exit
Adding a VxFS file system
1. Adding a VxVM file system
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=vxfs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/datavol
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set raw=/dev/vx/rdsk/datadg/datavol
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
2. Adding a VxVM raw volume
global# zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add device
zonecfg:zone01:device> set match=/dev/vx/rdsk/dg1/vol1
zonecfg:zone01:device> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
Adding UFS file system
1. Adding UFS under SVM
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/u01
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=/dev/md/dsk/d100
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set raw=/dev/md/rdsk/d100
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> add options [nodevices,logging]
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
2. Adding UFS under VxVM volume
We can also create a UFS file system on a VxVM volume as foillows.
global # vxassist -g datadg make datavol 1g
global # mkfs -F ufs /dev/vx/rdsk/datadg/datavol
global # mount -F ufs /dev/vx/dsk/datadg/datavol /zones/zone01/root/data
To add the UFS under VxVM :
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=/dev/vx/dsk/datadg/datavol
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set raw=/dev/vx/rdsk/datadg/datavol
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/zones/zone1/root/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
Adding ZFS
1. Adding a ZFS file system to a non-global zone Make sure the mount point property of
the ZFS file system getting added to a zone is set to legacy, otherwise it may get assigned
to multiple non-global zones simultaneously.
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=zfs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=rpool/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> exit
2. Adding ZFS file system as a loopback file system (lofs)to a non-global zone :
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=rpool/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/data
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
global # mkdir -p /zoneroot/zone01/root/data
global # mount -F lofs rpool/data /zoneroot/zone01/root/data
3. Delegating a dataset to a non-global zone here you have a complete control of the
dataset you delegate to the non-global zone. For example you can create your own child
datasets under the dataset you delegate and set properties of the delegated dataset etc.
The ZFS file system data will be available as a pool in the non-globa zone.
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add dataset
zonecfg:zone01:dataset> set name=rpool/data
zonecfg:zone01:dataset> end
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> exit
3. Adding ZFS volumes to non-global zones
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone1> add device
zonecfg:zone1:device> set match=/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/datavol
zonecfg:zone1:device> end
zonecfg:zone1> verify
zonecfg:zone1> commit
zonecfg:zone1> exit
Adding a CD-ROM to non-global zone
To adda a CD-ROM to the non-global zone :
global # zonecfg -z zone01
zonecfg:zone01> add fs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set dir=/cdrom
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set special=/cdrom
zonecfg:zone01:fs> set type=lofs
zonecfg:zone01:fs> end
zonecfg:zone01> verify
zonecfg:zone01> commit
zonecfg:zone01> exit
