System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones

ProcedureHow to Log In to the Zone Console to Perform the Internal Zone Configuration

You must be the global administrator in the global zone to perform this procedure.

  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. Use the zlogin command with the -C option and the name of the zone, my-zone in this procedure.


    global# zlogin -C my-zone

  3. From another terminal window, boot the zone.


    global# zoneadm -z my-zone boot

    You will see a display similar to the following in the zlogin window:


    [NOTICE: Zone booting up]

  4. The first time you log in to the console, you are prompted to answer a series of questions. Your screen will look similar to this:

    For the complete list of questions you must answer, see Internal Zone Configuration.

  5. (Optional) If you are not using two windows as described in step 3, you might have missed the initial prompt for configuration information. If you see the following system message at zone login instead of a prompt:


    [connected to zone zonename console]

    Press Return to display the prompt again.

    If you enter an incorrect response and try to restart the configuration, you might experience difficulty when you attempt the process again. This occurs because the sysidtools can store your previous responses.

    If this happens, use the following workaround from the global zone to restart the configuration process.


    global# zlogin -S zonename /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig

    For more information on the sys-unconfig command, see the sys-unconfig(1M) man page.
