I want to create a new sol10 zone on a sol11 sparc system. I get a message stating that i don't have have memory. Really? Seriously? What *are* they doing? # swap -s -h 205M available. Whoops. That's all me. What to do? Create a swap file. Sure. Let's do the usual, shall we? # mkfile 5g /swap # swap -a /swap "/swap" may contain holes - can't swap on it. Oh come on. Silly zfs filesystem. Sigh. Well. Let's see where we can put a swap file... # zfs list ... rpool/export 43.5G 68.4G 34K /export rpool/export/home 66K 68.4G 32K /export/home rpool/export/home/localuser 34K 68.4G 34K /export/home/localuser rpool/export/zones 43.5G 68.4G 43K /export/zones ... Well. zones looks as good a place as any. So, it is a device; and the device is here: /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/export/zones We just know this because that's zfs. Let's script it, shall we? Just in case we need to do this again. One shot. Create it, activate it, mount it. if [ ! -L /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/export/zones/swap ] then zfs create -V 5gb rpool/export/zones/swap fi echo "/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/export/zones/swap - - swap - no -" >> /etc/vfstab /usr/sbin/swap -a /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/export/zones/swap mount -a # swap -s -h total: 2.0G allocated + 1.3G reserved = 3.3G used, 5.3G available Awesome. And now the creation of that zone... # ./solaris-10u10-sparc.bin -p /export/zones -a 10.10.10.10/20 -z sol10vm Happiness.
