Unified Archives and Trusted Solaris

Solaris Unified Archives support archive creation and deployment of Trusted Solaris and 'labeled'-brand Solaris Zones. This support is transparent in most respects save the following caveats:

  • Archive image transforms are not allowed with Trusted Solaris or labeled zone archives. Therefore, Trusted Solaris global archives are deployable to global zone contexts such as logical domains, Oracle Solaris Kernel Zones, or to bare metal systems.

  • Archives of labeled non-global zone archives are only deployable as 'labeled'-brand zones, running within the context of a Trusted Solaris global zone host. Note the requirement for 'labeled'-brand non-global zone deployments.

  • Trusted Solaris must be configured in the host global zone. For more information regarding Trusted Solaris and 'labeled'-brand zones, refer to Planning Your Labeled Zones in Trusted Extensions in Trusted Extensions Configuration and Administration .
