7 HP 9000 Containers file system layout
This chapter explains the file system layout for HP 9000 system and classic container types, and
the operations performed on the file systems while creating a container.
7.1 HP 9000 system container file system
HP 9000 system container has a private HP 9000 file system in the /var/hpsrp/<srp_name>
directory. The container does not have write permission to the directories that are outside its file
system.
The private directories inside the system container contain files that are recovered from the HP
9000 file system image. However, the file system undergoes the following changes while a container
is created:
• The HP 9000 /dev file is moved to dev-hp9000. A container private /dev is created during
configuration with a set of default devices copied from the host system. You can view the list
of devices in the /opt/HP9000-Containers/config/hp9000_devices file.
• Unsupported system services are removed from HP 9000 /sbin. A copy of the original
directory is preserved for reference as /sbin-hp9000.
• A set of predefined products and files are copied from the host into the container. You can
find the list of products and individual files copied in the /opt/HP9000-Containers/
config/hp9000sys_copy_products and /opt/HP9000-Containers/config/
hp9000sys_copy_files respectively.
• Changes are made to some specific files inside the container file system such as /etc/fstab,
/etc/inittab, /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, and /etc/hosts.
• ARIES configuration files .ariesrc and .aries64rc are created in the container root
directory.
• The crontab files owned by the root user inside the container are moved so that system
administration-related cron jobs do not get automatically enabled in the container.
• System administration-related commands are either overwritten or disallowed read and execute
permissions inside the container (depending on the option selected while creating the container).
You can view the list of such commands in the /opt/HP9000-Containers/config/
hp9000sys_delete_commands file.
Figure 1 (page 46) shows the file system layout for a host with HP 9000 system container configured.
