Solaris Zone 及体会

Solaris Zones

　　>Solaris Zone 的类型?

- Global Zone:

你在一台物理机器上安装的第一个Solaris操作系统实例,我们用它处理系统级别的管理控制工作.它的zone id恒为0,名字恒为global.

只有在Global Zone(需要root权限),才能对一个Non-Global Zone进行配置,安装,监控,管理及卸载.

只有Global Zone才从系统物理层启动.系统层的管理工作,比如:物理设备,路由,或者动态配置(Dynamic Reconfiguration),只可能在Global Zone进行. （比如：要更改一个local zone的IP,就只能在global zone更改）

- Non-globar (local) Zone:

Local zone, 运行于Global Zone之上,理论上一个Global Zone上可最多运行8192个Local Zone,实际上受物理硬件条件的限制,可能达不到此数目,也无此必要,否则管理上就太难~了.

以文件系统来源来划分,Local Zone可分为Sparse Root Zone和Whole Root Zone.

Sparse Root Zone: 默认的Local Zone的文件系统模式.它直接和Global Zone共享Global Zone的四个核心文件目录(/usr,/lib,/platform及/sbin),所以安装此模式zone所需要的磁盘空间较小(100MB左右),相应地带来定制灵活度较低的缺点.它只有自己的/etc和/var目~录.

Whole Root Zone:拥有最大的灵活度。拷贝global zone的所有系统文件，可随意定制。不利因素是需较大的磁盘空间。

备注：local zone的软件包集决定于global zone. 比如:global zone装的是SUNWCuser,local zone是不可能是SUNWCprog.(这个我没有测试过，我猜测的依据是patch的安装，因为大部分的补丁要在global zone上安装的；另一个依据是local zone安装的时候并没有提问需安装的软件包集合。）

　　Zone的资源及属性类型

　　Global Property

　　Zonename

　　unique; case-sensitive; begin with character(a-z,0-9,_,-,.); <=64 chars; SUNW* &global是保留字，不能用.

　　zonepath

　　The non-global zone's root path is one level lower. It must be owned by root (global) with the mode 755.

　　global# mkdir -p -m 700 /etc/zones/my-zone

　　Path Description

　　/etc/zones/my-zone -->(owned by global root with permission 700) zonecfg zonepath

　　/etc/zones/my-zone/root Root of the zone (at global zone)

　　/etc/zones/my-zone/dev Devices created for the zone

　　autoboot

　　The zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted if this property is set to true. Make sure the service svc:/system/zones:defaultis enabled.

　　bootargs (from Solaris 10 8/07)

　　It is used to set a boot argument for the zone. It is applied unless overridden by the reboot, zoneadm boot, or zoneadm reboot commands.

　　pool

　　This property is used to associate the zone with a resource pool on the system. Multiple zones can share the resources of one pool.

　　limitpriv (from Solaris 10 11/06)

　　This property is used to specify a privilege mask other than the default.

　　scheduling-class (from Solaris 10 8/07)

　　This property sets the scheduling class for the zone.

　　You can use the fair share scheduler(FSS) to control the allocation of available CPU resources among zones, based on the importance of the workloads in the zone. The workload importance is expressed by the number of sharesof CPU resources that you assign to each zone.

　　When you explicitly set the cpu-sharesproperty, the FSS will be used as the scheduling class for the zone. However, the preferred way to use FSS in this case is to set FSS to be the system default scheduling class with the dispadmincommand.

　　ip-type

　　This property is required to be set only if the zone is an exclusive-IP zone.

　　Resource

　　dedicated-cpu (ncpus, [importance])

　　It specifies that a subset of the system's processors should be dedicated to a non-global zone while it is running.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add dedicated-cpu

　　zonecfg:myzone:dedicated-cpu> set ncpus=2-40

　　zonecfg:myzone:dedicated-cpu> set importance=2

　　zonecfg:myzone:dedicated-cpu> end

　　Note: If you specify a range because you want dynamic resource pool behavior, you must set the importance property &&enable the pooldservice.

　　capped-memory (physical, swap, locked)

　　Specify the memory limits for the zone. Each limit is optional, but at least one must be set.

　　zonecfg:my-zone> add capped-memory

　　zonecfg:my-zone:capped-memory> set physical=50m

　　zonecfg:my-zone:capped-memory> set swap=100m

　　zonecfg:my-zone:capped-memory> set locked=30m

　　zonecfg:my-zone:capped-memory> end

　　dataset (name)

　　Adding a ZFS file system dataset resource enables the delegation of storage administration to a non-global zone. The zone administrator can create, modify and destroy file systems within that dataset (ONLY).

　　# The following specify that the dataset sales is to be visible and mounted in the non-global zone and no longer visible in the global zone.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add dataset

　　zonecfg:myzone> set name=tank/sales

　　zonecfg:myzone> end

　　fs (dir, special, raw, type, options)

　　This resource parameters supply the values that determines how and where to mount file systems.

　　When file systems are mounted from within a zone, the nodevicesoption applies.

　　PCFS, TMPFS, UDFS, UFS, LOFS, HSFS, FDFS, XMEMFS --> can be mounted using zonecfg, can be manually mounted from the global zone into a non-global zone, can be mounted from within the zone.

　　NFS, AutoFS, MNTFS, PROCFS --> can NOT be mounted using zonecfg, can be mounted from within the zone

　　dir - specifies the mount point for the file system

　　special - specifies the block special device name or directory from the global zone to mount

　　raw - specifies the raw device on which to run fsck before mounting the file system

　　type - spcifies file system type

　　options - specifies mount options

　　zonecfg:myzone> add fs

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> set dir=/mnt

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> set type=ufs

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> set options [nodevices,logging]

　　zonecfg:myzone:fs> end

　　inherit-pkg-dir (dir)

　　This resource should NOT be configured in a whole root zone.

　　The contents of software packages transferred into the inherit-pkg-dir directory are inherited in READ-ONLY mode by the non-global zone. These resources cannot be modified or removed after the zone has been installed using zoneadm.

　　There are four default inherit-pkg-dir resource (/lib, /platform, /sbin, &/usr)are included in the configuration.

　　### The following specify that /opt/sfw is to be loopback mounted from the global zone.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add inherit-pkg-dir

　　zonecfg:myzone:inherit-pkg-dir> set dir=/opt/sfw

　　zonecfg:myzone:inherit-pkg-dir> end

　　net (address, physical)Note: For a shared-IP zone, both the IP &the device are specified. For an exclusive-IP zone, only the physical interface is specified.

　　### Shared-IP zone. To determine which physical interface to use, type ifconfig -aon your system.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add net

　　zonecfg:myzone:net> set physical=hme0

　　zonecfg:myzone:net> set address=192.168.1.1

　　zonecfg:myzone:net> end

　　### Exclusive-IP zone. To determine which data-links are available, use the command dladm show-link. The data-link must be GLDv3 to be used with exclusive-IP zones, and non-GLDv3 data-links appear as type: legacy in the dladm show-link output. Note that ip-type=exclusivemust be specified.

　　zonecfg:myzone> set ip-type=exclusive

　　zonecfg:myzone> add net

　　zonecfg:myzone:net> set physical=bge32001

　　zonecfg:myzone:net> end

　　device (match)

　　### a /dev/pts device is included in a zone.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add device

　　zonecfg:myzone:device> set match=/dev/pts*

　　zonecfg:myzone:device> end

　　rctl (name, value)

　　The rctl resource is used for zone-wide resource controls. The controls are enabled when the zone transitions from the installed state to the ready state.

　　resource_controls:= zone.cpu-shares (preferred: cpu-shares), zone.max-locked-memory, zone.max-lwps (max-lwps), zone.max-msg-ids(max-msg-ids), zone.max-sem-ids (max-sem-ids), zone.max-shm-ids(max-shm-ids), zone.max-shm-memory (max-shm-memory), zone.max-swap

　　In a zone configuration, the rctl resource type consists of three name/values pairs. The names are priv, limit, and action. Each of the names takes a simple value.

　　zonecfg:myzone> add rctl

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> set name=zone.cpu-shares

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> add value (priv=privileged,limit=10,action=none)

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> end

　　zonecfg:myzone> add rctl

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> set name=zone.max-lwps

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> add value (priv=privileged,limit=100,action=deny)

　　zonecfg:myzone:rctl> end

　　attr (name, type, value)

　　### a comment about a zone is added

　　zonecfg:myzone> add attr

　　zonecfg:myzone:attr> set name=comment

　　zonecfg:myzone:attr> set type=string

　　zonecfg:myzone:attr> set value="Production Zone"

　　zonecfg:myzone:attr> end

　　Zonecfgzonecfg -z zonename

　　zonecfg -z zonename subcommand

　　zonecfg -z zonename -f command_file本命令的最终结果就是在global zone的/etc/zones下生成一个.xml文件，此文件包含此的配置参数，系统用此xml文件里的信息来配置zone.OPTIONS

　　-f command_file -- Specify the name of zonecfg command file （a text file, one command per line）.

　　-z zonename -- Specify the name of a zone.
