I just pushed version-06 of – Creating A DevOps Like Environment In Oracle Solaris including HA and DR
Below are whats new for this update.
Version 0.6
Added: This version adds the capability to create Zones with High Availability(HA) and Disaster Recovery(DR) in mind.
With this version:
- You can now specify a list of HA (local servers) and a list of DR (remote) servers.
- The script will automatically select the least loaded server to create the Zone.
- Every zone will get created in pairs, an HA(local) zone and a DR(remote) Zone (based on least load).
- The script will also make sure there is enough resources, based on your minimum CPU, Memory, etc…
Added: This version adds the VM/Zone image rotate i.e. -l (–listZones) option.
With this version you can now update/rollback an image using the newest ZFS copy.
Updated: This version enhances / replaces the IP / Port mapping option used in the previous version.
With this version you don’t need to create / copy the port mapping file to all zones, the controller(server that runs this script) will keep track of all zone IP / Port mappings. the script utilizes the Python pickleDB module to keep track of this changes, the pickleDB stores all modifications in a JSON like file format called ports.db .
Updated: This version enhances / simplifies and removes the need to create an sc_profile.xml.
With this version there is no need to pre-create the sc_profile.xml, the script will dynamically create the sc_profile.xml at zone install/cloning time.
