System Administration Guide: Virtualization Using the Solaris Operating System

ProcedureHow to Use Interactive Mode to Access a Zone

In interactive mode, a new pseudo-terminal is allocated for use inside the zone.

You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.

  1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

    To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

  2. From the global zone, log in to the zone, for example, my-zone.


    global# zlogin my-zone
    

    Information similar to the following will display:


    [Connected to zone 'my-zone' pts/2]
    Last login: Wed Jul  3 16:25:00 on console
    Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic July 2004
  3. Type exit to close the connection.

    You will see a message similar to the following:


    [Connection to zone 'my-zone' pts/2 closed]
