Verifying the Installation and Configuration of a Zone

Before you install the HA for Solaris Zones packages, verify that the zones that you created are correctly configured to run in a cluster. This verification does not verify that the zones are highly available because the HA for Solaris Zones data service is not yet installed.

How to Verify the Installation and Configuration of a Zone

Perform this procedure for each zone that you created in Installing and Configuring Zones.

1. Start the zone.

   # zoneadm -z zone boot

2. Log in to the zone.

   # zlogin zone

3. Perform the required task depending upon the brand type of the zone.
   • For a solaris and solaris10 brand type zone, confirm that the zone has reached the svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default milestone.

     # svcs -a | grep milestone
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/network:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/devices:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/single-user:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/sysconfig:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/name-services:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/multi-user:default
     online         Apr_10   svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default

4. Stop the zone.

   # zoneadm -z zone halt
