Zone agent

The Zone agent brings online, takes offline, monitors, and cleans Solaris zones. You can use the agent to make zones highly available and to monitor them.

Note:

Solaris 10 Update 3 or later enables attach and detach functionality for zones. Since the Zone agent supports this feature, you can patch a node where the service group that contains the zone resource is offline.

The ContainerOpts resource type attribute for this type has a default value of 0 for RunInContainer and a default value of 1 for PassCInfo. Symantec recommends that you do not change the values for these keys.

This agent is IMF-aware and uses asynchronous monitoring framework (AMF) kernel driver for IMF notification. For more information about the Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) and intelligent resource monitoring, refer to theVeritas Cluster Server Administrator's Guide.

Note:

When zone goes into maintenance state, AMF does not detect the state. The change in state is detected by Zone monitor in the next cycle.

Refer to the Storage Foundation High Availabiltiy Virtualization Guide for more information.
