solaris8 Branded Zone Configuration Process

The zonecfg command is used to do the following:

• Set the brand for the zone.

• Create the configuration for the solaris8 zone. Refer to the information you gathered in Assess the Solaris 8 System.

• Verify the configuration to determine whether the specified resources and properties are allowed and internally consistent on a hypothetical SPARC based system.

• Perform a brand-specific verification. The verification ensures that the zone does not have any inherited package directories or ZFS datasets.

The check performed by the zonecfg verify command for a given configuration verifies the following:

• Ensures that a zone path is specified

• Ensures that all of the required properties for each resource are specified

• Ensures that brand requirements are met
