"A new Solaris 10 feature, "Containers" or "Zones" allows the
configuration of global and non-global zones. NetBackup Server is
supported only in a global zone."

I'd be interested if you can pull it off anyway though. =)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] re: sharing tape library across solaris 10 zones

Hi, 

Q: what is the best way to share devices such as tape library among
different zones? 

I have a situation that I need run vertas netbackup in two separate
zones, while sharing the same tape library due to budget constraints.

in order to share it, I'm thinking about shuttle the devices via
zoneadm/zonecfg to add/remove devices to the zone(s) , reload the zone.
and use zonecfg/zoneadm to shuttle device after backup is done. and on
..,  and doing this via a cron script.  is this a sensible thing to do ?
any better solutions? 


Thanks.
Jason
