depends tag?

[Eric Meddaugh]

We have the following:

 

x.x.x.x     hostA           # ssh 

 

y.y.y.y     hostB         # ssh
ldap://hostB.rit.edu:389/ou=People,dc=rit,dc=edu?uid?sub?(uid=authtest)
depends=(conn:hostA/conn),(ldap:hostA/conn)

 

 

These run Solaris 10 zones.  hostA is the physical system, hostB is a
zone within hostA.  So if the hostA goes down, then hostB will be down
also.    However it appears that if the "conn" test fails for hostA, it
fails for hostB also, but hostB "conn" shows red, not clear.

 

Is this correct?  We have many Solaris 10 zones that if the physical
host goes down, then all the zones will fail the test too.  We don't
want to be emailed (or paged) with massive amounts of hosts going down,
when we know that other host test will fail.

 

Thanks.
