[b]NOTE:[/b] You must have BrandZ B31 and newer for this guide!
[b]0. Basic concept[/b]
This is process of creation of Native Solaris Zone based
on BrandZ zone extension. Goal of this effort is to get
clone of Native Solaris Zone config for experiments with
OpenSolaris based systems like [b]SchilliX[/b], [b]BeleniX[/b] and
[b]nexenta[/b] with native system performance.
"privsnz" Brand = Private Native Solaris Zone on BrandZ can
be also used for development of OpenSolaris kernel based
systems, because BrandZ framework will hide "privsnz" branded
zone from Global zone package operations.
"privsnz" will be clone default Native Solaris Zone with
it's own scripts for Install, Boot and Halt.
This scripts are for now empty, but can be easily customised
to directly install OpenSolaris based systems like [b]SchilliX[/b],
[b]BeleniX[/b] and [b]nexenta[/b] Live CD images.
[b]Creation of "privsnz" Step by Step:[/b]
[b]1. Clonning Solaris Native Zone[/b]
mkdir /usr/lib/brand/privsnz
cp -r /usr/lib/brand/native/* /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/
[b]2. Customize files to represent "privsnz" [/b]
Edit /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/SUNWblank.xml
Change
<zone name="blank" zonepath="" autoboot="false">
to
<zone name="blank" zonepath="" autoboot="false" brand="privsnz">
Copy blank to default
cp /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/SUNWblank.xml /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/SUNWdefault.xml
edit /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/platform.xml
Change
<platform name="native">
to
<platform name="privsnz">
[b]3. Add custom scripts to config[/b]
edit /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/config.xml
Change
<brand name="native">
<install>/usr/lib/lu/lucreatezone -z %z</install>
to
<brand name="privsnz">
<install>/usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_install %z %R %*</install>
<boot>/usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_boot %z %R</boot>
<halt>/usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_halt %z %R</halt>
[b]4. Create empty scripts templates[/b]
cat <<EOF > /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_install
#!/bin/bash
# %z zonename %R zone root %* rest of params
exit 0
EOF
chmod 0755 /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_install
cat <<EOF > /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_boot
#!/bin/sh
# %z zonename %R zone root
exit 0
EOF
chmod 0755 /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_boot
cat <<EOF > /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_halt
#!/bin/sh
# %z zonename %R zone root
exit 0
EOF
chmod 0755 /usr/lib/brand/privsnz/priv_halt
[b]5. "privsnz" is ready[/b]
You have now "privsnz" - BrandZ Private Native Solaris Zone for ready experiments.
Nice day
Rudolf

Excrements? That's a bit harsh...
