Solaris Trusted Extensions Administrator's Procedures

ProcedureRun the txzonemgr Script

This script steps you through the tasks to properly configure, install, initialize, and boot labeled zones. In the script, you name each zone, associate the name with a label, install the packages to create a virtual OS, and then boot the zone to start services in that zone. The script includes copy zone and clone zone tasks. You can also halt a zone, change the state of a zone, and add zone-specific network interfaces.

This script presents a dynamically-determined menu that displays only valid choices for the current circumstances. For instance, if the status of a zone is configured, the Install zone menu item is not displayed. Tasks that are completed do not display in the list.
