Hello,
Does anyone have information on how to run Sun One web server in SPARSE zones? We have installed the web server binaries in the GLOBAL zone and shared /opt/SUNWwbsvr read-only to the SPARSE zones. Within each SPARSE zone we would like to configure web server instances.
Thanks,
The global zone should offer no services to the network except services required to administer the system. SSH from known IPs. Put everything in zones for the security of the system. Zones have no performance penalty so there is no advantage to running on the host system in the global zone.
Sun's Java Enterprise server software webserver, directory server, etc required a full zone due to Solaris Package issues or conflicts; writing stuff in /usr; or both. A whole root for this software should not be a big deal. I create zones 9 at a time numbered in sequence. Zone 8 and 9 are whole root zones for requirements such as this.
I'll leave to others to alert us if the whole root zone requirement changes for Sun's Java Enterprise Server software.
