Solaris 8 Zone — etude/BrandZ trial run
Thursday, January 10th, 2008Solaris8 BrandZ pre-requisites
Requires kernel patch 127111-05 (or latest version) for sparc. Find all dependencies and fulfill then (ie patch requirements).

Think of a optimal battery of tests that can help us determine whether this virtualized solaris 8 is a viable platform for servers that cannot be migrated….

Adding packages — pkgadd works

Set up sshd after adding these packages, complete with start up scripts, sshd privsep user id in the system accounts files (passwd and shadow).

Installing Oracle 8i
Setting up Oracle 8i was a breeze. Simply dumped the 2 cds of Oracle 8i 64-bit installation media onto a solaris8 zone visible fileystem and ran the runInstaller with all defaults and the demo database (scott/tiger) getting created as the end step.
Make sure to copy the media to local disk when installing inside the zone. The reason being, even though the cdrom can be exported to the local zone from the Global zone this way —
add fsset dir=/mntset special=/cdromset type=lofsadd options roadd options nodevicesend
We would have issues ejecting and inserting new cdroms, etc.
