Test Farm Zone Servers

Development Zones

 Each development zone has the following properties:

• whole root writable zone
• zfs file system with quota
• zone name equals user name
• user account with home directory at /export/home

 Development zones can be reserved under the Test Farm Virtual Machines interface.

Build Tools

 The following build tools are preinstalled:

• SunStudio 12 compiler and tools (/opt/SUNWspro/bin)
• ON Build Tools (/opt/onbld/bin)

Network Name Resolution

 We plan to provide better network name resolution. In the meantime, it's good to add these entries in the /etc/hosts file.

72.5.123.5      hg.opensolaris.org
72.5.123.19     cr.opensolaris.org
72.5.123.21     pkg.opensolaris.org
72.5.124.114    dlc.sun.com

File Transfer

 The scp (secure copy) command can be used to transfer files to and from the zone:

-bash-3.2$ scp source_code  jwalker@132.88.135.75:/export/home/jwalker
source_code   100% |*****************************|  576  00:00

-bash-3.2$ scp jwalker@132.88.135.75:/export/home/jwalker/source_code  source_code.bak
source_code   100% |*****************************|  576  00:00

 Once logged in, the curl command can be used to download source and binary files from websites:

jwalker@jwalker:~$ curl -O http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/on-closed-bins.i386.tar.bz2

Zone Details

 ZFS is used to manage the root and zone storage pools. Each zone has it's own zfs file system. ZFS quotas are used to control space usage. User whole root zones are cloned from a masterzone. The Sun Studio complier is shared by all user zones using a lofi mount.

Zone Setup

Create user zonecfg file using zonecfg.tmpl with correct hostname and ip address
$ zonecfg -z $userzone -f $zonecfg
$ zoneadm -z $userzone clone masterzone
$ zoneadm -z $userzone ready
$ zfs set quota=$quotasize bpool/zones/$userzone
Create user sysidcfg file using sysidcfg.tmpl with correct hostname and ip address
$ cp $sysidcfg /bpool/zones/$userzone/root/etc
$ zoneadm -z $userzone boot
$ zlogin -C $userzone
Setup user account 
Verify user zone login

Zone Deletion

$ zoneadm -z $userzone halt
$ zoneadm -z $userzone uninstall -F
