ProcedureHow to Define a Host as a Global Zone

A global zone is a host on which individual zones are defined. Before you can create any local zones, you must have at least one host defined to be in the host set com.sun.solaris#global_zones. This task explains how to define a host as a global zone.

Steps
  1. In the left control panel, under the Hosts Setup section, click Hosts.

  2. Type the name of the host that you want to create as a global zone (container) in the Name field and click Create.

  3. Choose com.sun.solaris#global_zone from the host type menu.

  4. Modify values for any attributes as needed.

    For example, you might want to change the connection type from RAW (the default) to SSH or SSL.


    Note –

    To use SSH for the local zone connection, you must set the port to 70000.


  5. Click the appropriate checkbox to include a Remote Agent or a Local Distributor on the physical host.
