Register Solaris Zones Host
This page allows you to tell Cloudmin that an existing system it manages is
suitable for hosting zones. To do this, the following fields must
be filled in :
- System hosting zones
- From the menu you must select a physical system running Solaris 10 or
later on X86 and Sparc hardware. Because Solaris comes with all the packages
and kernel support needed for zones, any system with enough disk space
should work fine.
- Base directory for zones
- Here you must enter a directory under which zones will be created,
which must already exist on the selected host system. Because zones
can consume a large amount of disk space, this should be on a filesystem
with plenty of free space.
- Add systems in zones to DNS domain
- If the master Cloudmin system runs a DNS server, this field will show a menu
of local DNS domains to which the hostname of newly created zones
will be added. It is highly recommended that you setup a DNS server and make sure it can be managed through Webmin before using zones and Cloudmin, so that
new instances will have resolvable hostnames.
- IP address allocation range
- When a Solaris zone is created, Cloudmin can assign an IP address for it
automatically. The IP will be taken from the range you enter in this field,
by finding addresses that are not in use by any other virtual system and
do not respond to pings.
- Base network interface
- By default, Cloudmin will create zones whose network interfaces
are a virtual interface on the host's first ethernet interface, like
bge0. If this host has multiple interfaces, you can enter a
different name here, like bge1.
