Configuring the Target Zone

The following must be installed on your Oracle Solaris 11 system: pkg:/system/zones/brand/brand-solaris10.

Create the new zone configuration on the target system by using the zonecfg command.

The zonecfg prompt is of the following form:

zonecfg:zonename>

When you are configuring a specific resource type, such as a file system, that resource type is also included in the prompt:

zonecfg:zonename:fs>

Tip - If you know you will be using CDs or DVDs to install applications in a solaris10 branded zone, use add fs to add read-only access to CD or DVD media in the global zone when you initially configure the branded zone. A CD or DVD can then be used to install a product in the branded zone. See How to Add Access to CD or DVD Media in a Non-Global Zone for more information.

How to Configure an Exclusive-IP `solaris10` Branded Zone

You must be the global administrator or a user with the appropriate authorizations in the global zone to perform this procedure.

Become root or assume an equivalent role.
Create an exclusive-IP solaris10 zone with the zone name s10-zone.
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone
```
If this is the first time you have configured this zone, you will see the following system message:
```
s10-zone: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
```
Create the new solaris10 zone configuration by using the SYSsolaris10 template.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> create -t SYSsolaris10
```
The SYSsolaris10 profile creates an exclusive-IP zone that includes an automatic anet resource by default.
Set the zone path, /zones/s10-zone in this procedure.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> set zonepath=/zones/s10-zone
```
Set the autoboot value.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> set autoboot=true
```
If set to true, the zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted. The default value is false. Note that for the zones to autoboot, the zones service svc:/system/zones:default must also be enabled. You can enable the zones service with the svcadm command.
Add a ZFS file system shared with the global zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> add fs
```
1. Set the type to zfs.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set type=zfs
```
2. Set the directory to mount from the global zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set special=share/zone/s10-zone
```
3. Specify the mount point.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set dir=/opt/shared
```
4. End the specification.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> end
```
This step can be performed more than once to add more than one file system.
Delegate a ZFS dataset named sales in the storage pool tank
```
zonecfg:my-zone> add dataset
```
1. Specify the path to the ZFS dataset sales.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> set name=tank/sales
```
2. End the dataset specification.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> end
```
Set the hostid to be the hostid of the source system.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> set hostid=80f0c086
```
Verify the zone configuration for the zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> verify
```
Commit the zone configuration for the zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> commit
```
Exit the zonecfg command.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> exit
```
Note that even if you did not explicitly type commit at the prompt, a commit is automatically attempted when you type exit or an EOF occurs.
Use the info subcommand to verify that the brand is set to solaris10.
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone info
```
(Optional) Use the info subcommand to check the hostid:
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone info hostid
```

Next Steps

Tip - After you have configured the zone, it is a good idea to make a copy of the zone's configuration. You can use this backup to recreate the zone in the future. As root or an administrator with the correct profile, print the configuration for the zone s10-zone to a file. This example uses a file named s10-zone.config.

global# zonecfg -z s10-zone export > s10-zone.config

How to Configure a Shared-IP `solaris10` Branded Zone

You must be the global administrator or a user with the appropriate authorizations in the global zone to perform this procedure.

Become root or assume an equivalent role.
Create a shared-IP solaris10 zone with the zone name s10-zone.
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone
```
If this is the first time you have configured this zone, you will see the following system message:
```
s10-zone: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
```
Create the new solaris10 zone configuration.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> create -b
set brand=solaris10
```
Note - Do not use create -t SYSsolaris10-shared-ip to set the IP type.
Set the zone path, /zones/s10-zone in this procedure.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> set zonepath=/zones/s10-zone
```
Set the autoboot value.
If set to true, the zone is automatically booted when the global zone is booted. Note that for the zones to autoboot, the zones service svc:/system/zones:default must also be enabled. The default value is false.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> set autoboot=true
```
Create a shared-IP zone with a network virtual interface.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> set ip-type=shared
```
```
zonecfg:my-zone> add net
```
1. Set the physical device type for the network interface, the bge device in this procedure.
```
zonecfg:my-zone:net> Set physical=bge0
```
2. Set the IP address, 10.6.10.233/24 in this procedure.
```
zonecfg:my-zone:net> Set address=10.6.10.233/24
```
3. End the specification.
```
zonecfg:my-zone:net> end
```
This step can be performed more than once to add more than one network interface.
Add a ZFS file system shared with the global zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> add fs
```
1. Set the type to zfs.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set type=zfs
```
2. Set the directory to be mounted from the global zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set special=share/zone/s10-zone
```
3. Specify the mount point.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> set dir=/opt/shared
```
4. End the specification.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone:fs> end
```
This step can be performed more than once to add more than one file system.
Delegate a ZFS dataset named sales in the storage pool tank
```
zonecfg:my-zone> add dataset
```
1. Specify the path to the ZFS dataset sales.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> set name=tank/sales
```
2. End the dataset specification.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> end
```
Set the hostid to be the hostid of the source system.
```
zonecfg:my-zone> set hostid=80f0c086
```
Verify the zone configuration for the zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> verify
```
Commit the zone configuration for the zone.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> commit
```
Exit the zonecfg command.
```
zonecfg:s10-zone> exit
```
Note that even if you did not explicitly type commit at the prompt, a commit is automatically attempted when you type exit or an EOF occurs.
Use the info subcommand to verify that the brand is set to solaris10.
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone info
```
(Optional) Use the info subcommand to check the hostid:
```
global# zonecfg -z s10-zone info hostid
```
