LX zones now boot, with enough configuration a priori.
Much more testing is required.

*** 1,5 **** --- 1,93 ---- + Last illumos-joyent commit: d21e83058c8edeb1becd9202380d088cb056f0c4 + + This is an attempt to port over LX zones into OmniOS. It's going to be a long, + painful slog, and I don't mean the ZFS kind, either. :) + + An IPS repo that matches public updates of the r151019 bloody repo can be + found at http:/pkg.omniti.com/omnios/LX/. ipkg and lipkg zones can boot, + appear to be fully functional, but need more testing. LX zones can be + installed using ZFS send streams (gzipped or uncompressed) from Joyent's + images, or from tarballs often used for Docker image setup. The + "kernel-version" attribute must be set by the administrator to match the + installed image. For example: + + # 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 + # + + This matches a CentOS 6.8 image from Joyent. To install the image: + + zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/centos68.gz + + A tarball install uses the -t flag instead: + + zoneadm -z lx0 install -s /root/path/to/docker-ubuntu.tgz + + Effective September 1st, one can use SmartOS-style IP address and DNS + configuration using zonecfg parameters. Here's the above zone with a pre- + configured set of networking parameters: + + # 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 + # + + You'd obtain the .gz file from Joyent's image servers. + + LX zones boot, and if not configured with zonecfg(1M), one needs to use + /native tools and/or scripts to configure networking on them. (NOTE: This + follows the OmniOS adminstrative model for zones.) LX zones need even more + testing than ipkg/lipkg zones, but appear to at least boot and allow both + "zlogin -C" console logins and "zlogin" direct logins. Some distros do not + present a console login on the first boot, and the zone may need to be + rebooted + + I reserve the right to burn this repo to the ground and start fresh. + + This repo also has the "joyent" branch, which is a downstream of illumos-joyent. + + Thanks -- Dan + + =========== + illumos gate README - Sep 16, 2012.
