Role Name

This role is supposed to deploy a new OpenIndiana Zone, with different settings. It will also allow to provision (multiple) ZFS filesystems, vnics and other related resources.

Requirements

This role obiously requires an OpenIndiana host system and following ansible modules:

• solaris_zone
• zfs
• dladm_vnic

Role Variables

You need to create a data structure called "oizone". The mandatory minimum is shown here:

oizone:
  name: samplezone                             # name of the zone
  zoneroot: /export/zones/                     # basedir for zoneroot
  brand: ipkg                                  # which brand does the zone shall have
  #uninstall: true                             # if set to true, we will remove all we would create
  updateinventory: true                        # will put the new zone on the first line of your local inventory
  autoboot: "true"                             # shall the zone boot upon system boot
  iptype: exclusive                            # exclusive-ip or shared-ip zone
  filesystems:                                 # list of filesystems, zoneroot is mandatory
    - path: rpool/export/zones/samplezone      # dataset for zoneroot
      type: zoneroot                           # type can be: zoneroot, dataset (add zfs dataset), lofs (mount loopback), volume (map a device)

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

    - hosts: servers
      vars:
        - oizone:
        [... see above ..]
      roles:
         - role: oi-zone
