Volume Management Within Solaris Zones
Mike Thomasson, February 2008
Here are some tips for organizing and managing data volumes in Solaris Zones on systems
that run the Solaris 10 Operating System.
Note: These tips have been tested only with Veritas Volume Manager. However, these tips
most likely will work with other volume management tools.
Create a separate disk group on the global zone for each non-global zone.
Create the volumes needed for each non-global zone within the disk group for that zone.
Configure the file systems in each zone using zonecfg, add fs,
set dir, set special, set raw,
set type, and set options.
The mount point specified for a zone is located in the zone's root directory structure (for example,
/export/zone001/root). You can mount the volume from the global zone by using
this as the mount point. It will show up within the zone.
You can also use growfs from the global zone on the fly.
