Has anyone successfully used Solaris 9 Containers?
807559May 1 2008 — edited Jul 6 2008Hi,
Now that "Solaris 9 containers" has been released, I'm trying to test them. I'm following the documentation (System Admin Guide, part #820-4490-10), but aren't getting a lot of success.
When I run the "zoneadm install" command, I get the following:
Log File: /var/tmp/s9-zone.install.2227.log
Source: /s9/solaris9-image.flar
Installing: This may take several minutes...
Postprocessing: This may take several minutes...
Postprocess: ERROR: Zone boot failed
Postprocess: ERROR: Postprocessing failed.
Result: Postprocessing failed.
Result: *** Installation FAILED ***
Log File: /var/tmp/s9-zone.install.2227.log
And the log file just says (in part:)
[Fri May 2 12:09:56 NZST 2008] Postprocess: Booting zone to single user mode
zoneadm: zone 's9-zone': exec /usr/lib/brand/solaris9/s9_boot s9-zone /zones/s9-zone failed
zoneadm: zone 's9-zone': call to zoneadmd failed
[Fri May 2 12:10:11 NZST 2008] Postprocess: ERROR: Zone boot failed
This isn't too helpful. I don't know why it's failed, and I don't know how to find out. I'm using the solaris9-flar available from Sun's download site, so I would expect this to "just work".
Any help / ideas / suggestions welcome at this point!
Ta,
