[OmniOS-discuss] New updates for LX Zones for OmniOS - zonecfg(1M) networking

[Dan McDonald]

Aka. "A tale of two LX zonecfgs".

I've updated the io-lx-public repo

	https://github.com/danmcd/io-lx-public/

AND the IPS server for bloody+LX:

	http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/

to include the Joyent-style zonecfg(1M) method of LX zone network configuration.  For example, a worked LX zone before would have:

	# zonecfg -z lx0 export
	create -b
	set zonepath=/zones/lx0
	set brand=lx
	set autoboot=false
	set ip-type=exclusive
	add net
	set physical=lx0
	end
	add attr
	set name=kernel-version
	set type=string
	set value=2.6.32
	end
	#

But now, you can add attributes to pre-configure the LX zone's basic networking (changes prefixed with '+'):

 	# zonecfg -z lx0 export
	create -b
	set zonepath=/zones/lx0
	set brand=lx
	set autoboot=false
	set ip-type=exclusive
	add net
	set physical=lx0
+	add property (name=gateway,value="192.168.0.1")
+	add property (name=ips,value="192.168.0.69/24")
+	add property (name=primary,value="true")
	end
+	add attr
+	set name=dns-domain
+	set type=string
+	set value=example.com
+	end
+	add attr
+	set name=resolvers
+	set type=string
+	set value=192.168.0.1
+	end
	add attr
	set name=kernel-version
	set type=string
	set value=2.6.32
	end
	#

And your LX zone, thanks to the lxinit(1M) binary will do the right thing.

Update your LX test boxes to this, and see how it works.

Thanks,
Dan
