5.3.3. Software installation per mount

[ug] In order to allow an application to run in the zone, additionally installed software is required,

except in trivial cases (Apache, Perl, etc.) This software is very often not in Sun pkg format .

One method of distributing this software is to maintain a shared software repository in the global zone

and to make it completely or partially visible in the zones:

•Globally, there is the directory /software

•Software is installed in the directory /software/product/version/ e.g.:

•/software/oracle/9i_05/

•/software/oracle/9i_06/

•/software/oracle/10g_01/

•/software/siebel/3.14/

•/software/tomcat/3.7/

•With zonecfg: add fs, the required directories in the respective zones are made visible

as read-only (with lofs).

This ensures that even software usage can be tracked in order to monitor licensing fees if necessary.

It is easier to install the entire directory /software in each zone. Different ways will then n eed to

be used to monitor software usage (audit and dt ra ce).
