Zones on NCP3b3 and RC1 - sysidtool and postgresql
Added by Jon Auer about 1 year ago
I'm running into the situation described on the nexentastor forum.
During zone installations I get the following warnings:
cp: cannot stat '/lib/svc/method/elatte-sysidtool-system': No such file or directory cp exited with value 1 cp: cannot stat '/var/svc/manifest/system/elatte-sysidtool.xml': No such file or directory cp exited with value 1 cp: cannot stat '/lib/svc/method/elatte-sysidtool-net': No such file or directory cp exited with value 1
After installation and the steps described in that forum post I can log in. I install PostgreSQL 8.3 using apt-get install postgresql-8.3. The installation process hangs with this message: svccfg: Invalid property name "postgresql-8.3_manifest". I kill it with ^C and run svcs -xa.

Now, I see that sysevent being absent absent was resolved in Issue #173.
What's the deal with sysidtool being absent? Is there a package I need to install to clear up the zone install errors and the missing SMF dependency in the zone?

I resolved this by copying the sysidtool manifest and methods from the global zone.

Following the steps of these bugs should fix it:

I'm really disappointed this bug has not been fixed before releasing NCP 3.0. I would have marked it as important, as Containers (aka zones) are an important feature of Solaris.
