How to Revert a Zone Configuration

While configuring a zone with the zonecfg utility, use the revert subcommand to undo a resource setting made to the zone configuration.

You must be the global administrator in the global zone or a user in the global zone with the Zone Security rights profile to perform this procedure.

1. Become an administrator.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .

2. While configuring a zone called tmp-zone, type info to view your configuration:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   The net resource segment of the configuration displays as follows:

   .
   .
   .
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   net:
           address: 192.168.0.1
           physical: eri0
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   .
   .
   .

3. Remove the net address:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> remove net address=192.168.0.1

4. Verify that the net entry has been removed.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   .
   .
   .
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   .
   .
   .

5. Type revert.

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> revert

6. Answer yes to the following question:

   Are you sure you want to revert (y/[n])? y

7. Verify that the net address is once again present:

   zonecfg:tmp-zone> info

   .
   .
   .
   fs:
           dir: /tmp
           special: swap
           type: tmpfs
   net:
           address: 192.168.0.1
           physical: eri0
   device
           match: /dev/pts/*
   .
   .
