How to Print a Copy of a Zone Configuration

You should create backup files of your non-global zone configurations. You can use the backups to recreate the zones later, if necessary. Create the copy of the zone's configuration after you have logged in to the zone for the first time and have responded to the sysidtool questions. This procedure uses a zone named my-zone and a backup file named my-zone.config to illustrate the process.

1. Become superuser, or assume the Primary Administrator role.

   To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. Print the configuration for the zone my-zone to a file named my-zone.config.

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