Thanks Richard.
I specified the host IP ( I use the default 5432 port), got error:
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "192.168.XX.XXX" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
The only tcp lines in my postgres.conf are
#tcp_keepalives_idle = 0 # TCP_KEEPIDLE, in seconds;
# 0 selects the system default
#tcp_keepalives_interval = 0 # TCP_KEEPINTVL, in seconds;
# 0 selects the system default
#tcp_keepalives_count = 0 # TCP_KEEPCNT;
# 0 selects the system default
Should I change something here?

Now I need to set up a client in a non-global zone on the same machine
or on anoter machine.
Not much luck so far.
What I did:
===========
- on the server in $PGDATA/pg_hub.conf I added a line for the client
host all all 192.XXX.XX.XXX trust
- On the client I tried:
psql sta
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
In my understanding:
- the data and the log file should exist on the server only.
- I should have postgres configuration file somewhere on the client to
at least specify Postgres server ip (PGHOSTTADDR and/or PGHOST), or
this should be set different way?
You can provide a hostname on the command-line too "psql -h 192.168.1.2"
, in an environment variable or in a "connection service file". Without
that, it defaults to trying to connect by unix domain sockets (on unix)
which I'm guessing doesn't work because your server is in a different
zone. Try an explicit IP address, as above.
Questions:
==========
- where to find steps for setting up postgres client?
If it runs, it's set up.
- what directories and files should I have on the client side?
none
- should I have local log file on the client?
No. Well, you get a .psql_history file if you have readline enabled.
- how to start postgres on the client - should I specify $PGDATA?
No
- Should $PGDATA be shared, i.e. mounted by the client, or I have
choice not to? I actually prefer not to be mounted.
No
- I read that for the client side I should have only 2 of the packages
- SUNWpostgr-libs and SUNWpostgr. All 24 packges for postgres are
there - should I remove the rest?
Can't help sorry.
- where to specify PGHOSTTADDR and/or PGHOST?
You can do it in your shell profile on a per-user basis, or for the
whole machine. I tend to do it no the command-line or in an shell alias
myself though.
