Branded zone Solaris 9

Hi,

I want to install branded zone sol 9 in sol 10. I keep getting same error. Please advice me.

Thanks.

Can't really see that image (attachment) very well. Can you please cut & paste the error to a post.

There should be no problems putting a legacy (branded) Solaris 9 zone on Solaris 10.

How to make under zoned on?

I want to create a zones with capacity 300G. Any guide or tutorial?
Can follow this tutorial?

You'd do better to follow guidance direct from Oracle:-
About Oracle Solaris 9 Branded Zones - System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris 9 Containers

Having said that, the tutorial that you posted the link to looks pretty good too.

This is error:

I already follow from the link. Come out with above error.

Any idea what i miss?

It is an access rights issue. p2v cannot create the required directory tree before populating it with the migrating data.

Check out the access rights on the mount point. Open the rights up, at least whilst executing p2v.

What user account are you running under???? (root or sudo would be best to circumvent access rights issues)

I'm using root id. How give right permission?

p2v is having a problem creating files on your designated zone path.

Try setting the zone mount point access to 777 whilst migrating data.

What hardware is this? This may be a stupid thing to say but you know that you cannot migrate a Sparc system to a zone on a x86 system?

Typically, zones are created on their own disk slice (of suitable size to take the migrating data) which is mounted on a mount point on the root filesystem. I think here you are using an area on your /export filesystem. yes?

Fail also. M10 sparc machine.

Error previous post is from flar file. Flar file corrupted. Now install done. But branded running zone cannot be access using telnet or putty. From zoneadm list -v, i can see it running.

I can login using rlogin. But for remote, i cannot access. I also can ping that zone. I try to restart ssh service but it said ssh service not available. Any idea what wrong?

svcs not found.

This is test-zone. I login using ssh. How to create directory from / with limit 50G?

How to add new disk? Is it same as oracle vm? We create image file and it will appear as disk in solaris zone? I'm confused. Normally at first creation we are using zonepath.

I just done slice in zone. Now zone can boot up. But ssh service not running. When i run command svcs, it's said command not found. How to add?

I need to mount manually disk. How to add in service so i can mount auto when OS boot up? Just like rc.local in linux.

If the command svcs is not found try using its path instead:

# /usr/bin/svcs <service>

Try starting the ssh daemon:

# svcadm enable network/ssh

Mounting filesystems when the system boots is done by putting the required entries into /etc/vfstab
