Resolution

Issue:
 
A feature of Veritas Cluster Server (VCS)  is that it can manage resources within Solaris local zones. To allow this a number of VCS agents are 'zone aware' and can operate within Solaris local zones rather than the global zone. The Mount agent is one such 'local zone' aware agent and can be used to mount file systems within a running Solaris local zone.
 
To ensure that the Mount agent operates as expected the following steps must be performed:
 
- The ContainerInfo attribute of the parent service group should be configured to contain details of the local zone being controlled within the service group:
# hagrp-modify ContainerInfo Type Zone Name Enabled 1
 
- The ContainerOpts attribute of the Mount resource which should mount a file system within the local zone should be set such that the resource runs within a container (local zone) and not the global zone:
# hares -override ContainerOpts
# hares -modify ContainerOpts RunInContainer 1 PassCInfo0
