Mounting OpenSolaris Zone FS in Global Zone

UNIX Solaris
1

Hi,

We have had a hard drive failure on one of our sandbox OpenSolaris system. We had 2 solaris zones configured at /tank/zones/teamcity and /tank/zones/jira for respective products.

The zpool (tank) was mirrored (2 drives). I'd like to mount the non-faulty drive in the global zone and recover some files within the zones above. How does one do this as I'm unable to simply mount the ZFS volumes normally.

If it helps, this is what we're doing (don't ask why!), we have a bootable CD version of OpenSolaris SNV 134, run inside VMWare, we mount the non-faulty drive.

The files we need to recover are related to the TeamCity and Jira products - we have backups but we'd like to yank out some configuration files that were never backed up.:wall:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

jack@opensolaris:/tomcat# zpool status -v base
  pool: tank
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be opened.  Sufficient replicas exist for
        the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

We are running this inside the Desktop Live CD as earlier.

I think our sysadmin has been laying around with it as there seems to be a few file systems mounted...

jack@opensolaris:~$ zfs list

Trying to list in teamcity:

jack@opensolaris:/tomcat# ls /tank/zones/teamcity/
dev  root

I'm not a Solaris expert by any means... I'm just a Java girl.

The pool is imported and its file systems look to be correctly mounted. If you or someone else didn't messed with the zone file systems mount points, the jira and teamcity zones should be usable.
