## Example: Building and Installing the PostgreSQL Software on Shared Storage in a Non-Global Zone With HA for Solaris Zones

This example illustrates how to install the PostgreSQL software on shared storage. You can alternatively build and install the PostgreSQL binaries in the default directory `/usr/local/pgsql`. See Installing the PostgreSQL Binaries in the Default Directory in a Non-Global Zone With HA for Solaris Zones (Alternative Installation).

1. Log in to the non-global zone.

       phys-schost-1# zlogin clu1

2. Add the `postgres` user.

       zone# groupadd -g 1000 postgres
       zone# useradd -g 1000 -u 1006 -d /postgres -m -s /bin/ksh postgres

3. Log in as the PostgreSQL user.

       zone# su - postgres

4. Set up the build environment.
   1. Create a build directory.

          zone$ mkdir build
          zone$ cd build

   2. Add the C compiler and `ar` to your `PATH`.

          zone PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
          zone$ export PATH

5. Install the source and configure the build.

       zone$ gzcat /tmp/postgresql-8.1.0.tag.gz | tar xvf -
       zone$ cd /global/mnt3/postgres/build/postgresql-8.1.0
       zone$ ./configure --prefix=/global/mnt3/postgres/postgresql-8.1.0

6. Build the PostgreSQL binaries.

       zone$ gmake

   If you use `gcc` to build the `postgres` binaries, build them in a failover file system.

7. Run the PostgreSQL regression tests.

       zone$ gmake check

8. Install the PostgreSQL binaries.

       zone$ gmake install

9. Clean the distribution.

       zone$ gmake clean
