The halt procedure is used to remove both the application environment and the virtual platform for a zone. To cleanly shut down a zone, see How to Use zlogin to Shut Down a Zone.
You must be the global administrator or a user with appropriate authorizations in the global zone to perform this procedure.
For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
