How to Reboot a Zone

You must be the global administrator or a user with appropriate authorizations in the global zone to perform this procedure. Also see How to Shutdown a Zone.

1. Become an administrator.

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

2. List the zones running on the system.

   global# zoneadm list -v

   You will see a display that is similar to the following:

   ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
    0  global   running      /                              solaris    shared
    1  my-zone  running      /zones/my-zone                 solaris    excl  

3. Use the zoneadm command with the –z reboot option to reboot the zone my-zone.

   global# zoneadm -z my-zone reboot

4. List the zones on the system again to verify that my-zone has been rebooted.

   global# zoneadm list -v

   You will see a display that is similar to the following:

   ID  NAME     STATUS       PATH                           BRAND      IP
    0  global   running      /                              solaris    shared
    2  my-zone  running      /zones/my-zone                 solaris    excl

   Tip  -  Note that the zone ID for my-zone has changed. The zone ID generally changes after a reboot.
