Creating Labeled Zones by Using CDE Actions (Task Map)

One zone can be created for every entry in the Trusted Network Zone Configuration database. You made the entries in Specify Zone Names and Zone Labels by Using a CDE Action, by running the Configure Zone action.

The Trusted_Extensions folder in the Application Manager contains the following actions that create labeled zones:

Configure Zone – Creates a zone configuration file for every zone name
Install Zone – Adds the correct packages and file systems to the zone
Zone Terminal Console – Provides a window for viewing events in a zone
Initialize Zone for LDAP – Makes the zone an LDAP client and prepares the zone for booting
Start Zone – Boots the zone, then starts all the service management framework (SMF) services
Shut Down Zone – Changes the state of the zone from Started to Halted

The tasks are completed in the following order.
