Comments on: Zones in Solaris 10: part three – sparse root and whole root http://solaris.reys.net/zones-in-solaris-10-part-three-sparse-root-and-whole-root/ Tips and tricks on DTrace, ZFS, Zones and Solaris administration Sun, 08 Jan 2012 03:14:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Garry Garrett http://solaris.reys.net/zones-in-solaris-10-part-three-sparse-root-and-whole-root/comment-page-1/#comment-1621 Garry Garrett Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:09:36 +0000 http://solaris.simplyunix.com/?p=12#comment-1621 Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, parts 1 & 2 don't say how to create a whole root zone either (unless I missed something). I did eventually find the answer here: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Zones Essentially, you when you do the zonecfg, and you do the "create", you pass give it "create -b" (now that was inuititive [sarcasm]). I would think, if you are going to add this anywhere, that you'd want to cover this here, where you talk about whole root vs. sparse root. Perhaps this comment will suffice to help others who are seeking the same answer? Thanks for your reply.

This is part 3 of the series, so have a look at part one and part two for instructions on how to leave these settings out: http://solaris.reys.net/solaris-10-zones-part-one-a-working-example/ and http://solaris.reys.net/zones-in-solaris-10-part-two-types-of-resources/ Feel free to ask if you still need help.

Obviously I want to remove these inherit-pkg-dir settings when I build out the zone, but how???

The only advantage I can see for a sparse root zone is the savings in space. Lets say the /opt directory in the Gloabal zone is shared to the Non Global zone, and the Global zone needs to be rebooted, then the Non Global zone cannot access /opt during the reboot. Is this correct? Also, how do you configure/install a whole root zone, in a non global zone? Thanks First, thanks for the great info.!!
