__What is a Branded Zone?__ Branded Zones (BrandZ) provides the framework to create non-global zones that contain non-native operating environments. This allows individual zones to emulate an OS environment other than the native one of the global OS. The brand for a zone is set at the time the zone is created, and is implemented with interposition points within the OS kernel that can be used to change the behavior of syscalls, process loading, thread creation, and other elements.

Three brands that can been implemented are

  • Solaris Containers for Linux Applications.
  • Solaris 8 Containers.
  • Solaris 9 Containers.

NB! Source Server = Server to be migrated or Virtualised Target Server = Server that will host the Zone post migration or virtualisation.

__Flash Archive Migration/Virtualisation__

  • To utilise the powerful P2V technologies of the Solaris OS to install a Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 Zone, one option is to use a Flash archive (FLAR) copy of the needed parts from a source server.
  • FLASH Archive is an Operating system feature, freely available in the Solaris 8, 9 and 10 OS versions.
  • The copy will include operating system binaries, configurations and setup from the physical source server.

__Required BrandZ pkgs: Target server__

  • Solaris release on Global Zone is higher or equal to Solaris 10_U6
  • The following SUNW pkgs are required on the target server:-
Solaris 9: SUNWs9brandk, SUNWs9brandr and SUNWs9brandu
Solaris 8: SUNWs8brandk, SUNWs8brandr and SUNWs8brandu
  • SUNWs[89]brandr and SUNWs[89]brandu are installed as part of an Oracle Solaris 10 installation in the MetaCluster : SUNWCXall or SUNWCall
  • SUNWs[89]brandk is only available from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It is the RTU licence pkg.

URL: Oracle E-delivery [1]

To obtain the package from the delivery cloud:

  • Select product: "Oracle Solaris" and platform "Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit),” and click search, Select Oracle Solaris Legacy Containers to download the package.
  • If your Solaris release or metacluster does NOT meet the above requirements, download and install the following patches from MOS

Solaris Container software / Patch Name to download

  • Solaris 9 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC- 64 bit / 11842137
  • Solaris 9 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC- 32 bit / 11842136
  • Solaris 8 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC- 64 bit / 11702874
  • Solaris 8 Containers 1.0.1 SPARC- 32 bit / 11702873
  • To download the patches login to https://support.oracle.com
  • To be able to install a Solaris BrandZ , one option is to use a Flash archive (FLAR) copy of needed parts from Source server.
  • The other is to install from a “Ready to Use” Solaris 8 or 9 image from Oracle.

Following patches are recommended for SUNWs8brandr/SUNWs9brandr or SUNWs8brandu/SUNWs9brandu packages on the target server

137137-09 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch
139555-08 SunOS 5.10: Kernel Patch
141444-09 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch
142909-17 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch
144500-19 SunOS 5.10: Solaris kernel patch
145023-LR SunOS 5.10: rc scripts Solaris Containers patch
146834-LR SunOS 5.10: zones resource controls patch
147440-LR SunOS 5.10: Solaris kernel patch
148161-LR SunOS 5.10: Solaris 9 Containers patch
NB! LR is latest release

Important

  • Don't forget to check that the SUNWinst package is installed on the source server. If it's missing e.g. Solaris 8 or 9 then add the package.
  • Check the < /etc/release > fle for the ”Oracle” syntax.
  • Check the < .platform > fle for the sun4v support if migrating to an LDOM.
  • Source Documentation available from My Oracle Support (MOS)
