5.1.5. Configuring a whole root zone: required Actions

[dd] Whole root zones do not contain i nheri t-pkg -dir and are generated with

zone c fg creat e from the default file /e t c/zon e/SUN Wdefa u lt.x m l. Subsequently, all

inhe r it-pk g-dir are removed with r emove in herit -pkg- d ir. We advise against

using zone cfg cre ate - b because such a zone is created with the default from

/etc / zones /SUNW b lank . xml which does not necessarily need to correspond to a whole root

zone. The following information is required to configure a whole root zone:

• Determination of zone name

• Determination of the root directory of the zone

• Assignment of an interface

• Assignment of an IP address

Following configuration, the zone must be installed and initialized prior to first use (see 5.1.6 Zone

installation).

global# zonecfg -z whole

whole: No such zone configured

Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
