Now that installing MySQL in Solaris zones is even officially supported by the MySQL support group (see http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/supportpolicies/policies-06.html#q03 (http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/supportpolicies/policies-06.html#q03)), the question is: What is the right way of installing MySQL in a zone. Of course this depends on what you want to achieve. The following description is based on Solaris 10. On Opensolaris this is different (somewhat easier, as there are no more sparse root zones.)
If you run a local zone as a whole root zone, you can easily install MySQL from tarball or the package installer.
If you run a local zone as a sparse root zone, there are different options:
First you cannot use the package installer, as this procedure will copy binaries to /usr/bin. But /usr/bin is inherited from the global zone and write protected. You

THIS BLOG POST GIVES WRONG ADVICE. DON'T DO THIS!

As the zones use ZFS as root filesystem it's easy to do a zfs snapshot/clone to reproduce a zone. The different zones have only one difference: They differ in /etc/nodename, they have different rootpaths and they have different IP addresses.I wrote a script to read from global's /etc/hosts the ip address. Zonerootpath is /zones/zonename and /etc/nodename must contain as well. The name of the zone is always identical to the hostname of the zone. That rule is not from OpenSolaris but from me.  ;-)
Here is my script: Beware: I hate to do a lot of checking. This is not for general use...
#!/bin/bash
echo "Creating zone $1 from zone TEMPLATE"
echo check if $1 does not already exist...
zoneadm list -cv | grep $1 && exit -1

echo -n "Retrieving TEMPLATE's IP: "
TEMPLATE_IP=$(grep TEMPLATE

(edit) mysql, OpenSolaris, enterprise monitor, zone, container, showcase
There is a big event coming: Cebit!And with that I took the task to implement a demo for MySQL Enterprise Monitor (http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/advisors.html) to show at the Sun booth. So I need a machine for the enterprise monitor and some machines to run MySQL databases. After all I need something to monitor.So the setup will be an Ultra 24 desktop machine installed with OpenSolaris 2008.11 . For every machine I will install a zone to run a separate database and one zone to run the enterprise monitor.
So here is my first round of experiences: Installing a template container on OpenSolaris and cloning it to build four or five
