Image sysidcfg Profile

If you created an Oracle Solaris 10 system archive from an existing system and use the –p (preserve sysidcfg) option when you install the zone, then the zone will have the same identity as the system used to create the image.

The –c option can be used to include a sysidcfg file to use in configuring the zone after the installation completes. To install a solaris10 zone, use a sysidcfg file in the command line. Note that a full path to the file must be supplied.

# zoneadm -z s10-zone install -a /net/machine_name/s10-system.flar -u -c /path_to/sysidcfg

The following sample sysidcfg file uses the net0 network name and timezone to configure an exclusive-IP zone with a static-IP configuration:

system_locale=C
 terminal=xterm
 network_interface=net0 {
    hostname=test7
    ip_address=192.168.0.101
    netmask=255.255.255.0
    default_route=NONE
    protocol_ipv6=no
 }
 name_service=NONE
 security_policy=NONE
 timezone=US/Pacific
 timeserver=localhost
 nfs4_domain=dynamic
 root_password=FSPXl81aZ7Vyo
 auto_reg=disable

The following sample sysidcfg file is used to configure a shared-IP zone:

system_locale=C
terminal=dtterm
network_interface=primary {
hostname=my-zone
}
security_policy=NONE
name_service=NIS {
domain_name=special.example.com
name_server=bird(192.168.112.3)
}
nfs4_domain=domain.com
timezone=US/Central
root_password=m4qtoWN

The following sample sysidcfg file is used to configure an exclusive-IP zone with a static IP configuration:

system_locale=C
terminal=dtterm
network_interface=primary {
hostname=my-zone
default_route=10.10.10.1
ip_address=10.10.10.13
netmask=255.255.255.0
}
nfs4_domain=domain.com
timezone=US/Central
root_password=m4qtoWN

The following sample sysidcfg file is used to configure an exclusive-IP zone with the DHCP and IPv6 option:

system_locale=C
terminal=dtterm
network_interface=primary {
dhcp protocol_ipv6=yes
}
security_policy=NONE
name_service=DNS {
domain_name=example.net
name_server=192.168.224.11,192.168.224.33
}
nfs4_domain=domain.com
timezone=US/Central
root_password=m4qtoWN
