ZoneManager 2.0.6 Released

The long anticipated and way overdue update to The Zone Manager is now complete. Today, I officially released version 2.0.6 which can be downloaded here. The four primary areas of development that this version improved are as follows:
  • Incorporate full support for resource management.
  • Add support for OpenSolaris
  • Consolidate and unify filesystem management for all supported filesystems (e.g. LOFI/LOFS, UFS, ZFS/ZVOL/Dataset, PCFS, HSFS, NFS, and SMB/CIFS) into the -r and -w flags.
  • Added support for exclusive ip-type to dedicate a NIC to a zone.
Other areas of improvement include but are not limited to the following:
  • Unified the input syntax (e.g. primary delimiter is the pipe (|) symbol and the secondary delimiter is the semicolon (;).
  • Unified variable format.
  • Reduced number of commonly used flags by enabling some default values.
  • Fixed a lot of bugs.
If you find a bug, feel free to fix it and file the bug and fix or workaround here. If there are features that don't yet exist that you think would add business value, feel free to file an RFE here.

Enjoy!

Hi Brad,

Thank you very much for all this work. I was wondering if it is possible to create directories automatically with zonemanager after the zone is booted? I am still using 1.8.1. I looked at the documentation help, but could not see any flags to do so. Do I need to upgrade version 2 to do this?
