create_zone.sh

Purpose

create_zone.sh is a shell script for creating zones in Solaris 10 unattended.

Using this script you can create zones without user interaction for example in a jumpstart environment. create_zone.sh can configure

the name of the zone
the IP address of the zone
the default router for the zone (Solaris 10 U6 and newer)
the type of the IP Stack (either shared or exclusive)
the main network interface for the zone
additional network interfaces for the zone
the zone mode
the root password for the zone
the timezone for the zone
the locale for the zone
the terminal for the zone console
the timeserver for the zone
the name resolution configuration for the zone
the type of the IP stack (either shared or exclusive)
the autoboot setting for the zone
the memory limit for the zone
the swap limit for the zone
the number of CPUs for the zone or the number of CPU Shares for the zone (Solaris 10 U5 and newer)
additional directories to be inherited by the zone
writable directories for zones
read-only directories for zones
ZFS datasets
Devices for the zone

You can also define a profile for the zone.

In addition you can define a finish script for the zone which runs after the zone is created and configured but before the zone is booted in the global zone.

And you can define a customize script for the zone. The customize scripts runs while first rebooting the zone. The script can be in one of the milestones single-user, multi-user, or multi-user-server.

A site specific SMF profile is also supported.

One or more template directories with additional files that should be copied to the zone are also supported. You can also define files that should be copied from the global zone to the non-global zone.

The zone installation can be done via normale installation, via cloning an existing zone or using an flash image. The script also supports a config-only mode (configure the zone but do not install the zone).

Like all of my scripts based on scriptt.sh create_zone.sh also supports a configuration file in which you can define mostly all values to be used for the zone configuration.

Usage

The only mandatory parameter for create_zone.sh are the parameter for the name of the zone (-z <zone_name> or -x zone_name=<zone_name>, the IP address of the zone (-i <zone_ip_address or -x zone_ip_address=<zone_ip_address>), and the path for the zone (-p <zone_path> or -x zone_path=<zone_path>)if it is not the default value (/zones).

All other parameter are optional.

Note: A "big" zone is a "whole root zone"; a "small" zone is a "sparse root zone".
