Solaris 10 Zones Support Process Overview

Working with the Solaris 10 zones support in the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions 5.2 Update 2 release is a multi-step process.

1. Install the Solaris 10 OS on the target hosts on which you want to manage Solaris 10 zones.

   If you want to move your zones resources between systems, the systems must support the zone attach and detach features. Starting with the Solaris 10 11/06 release, these features are supported.

2. Install the N1 SPS remote agent software on the systems that you want to provision and manage zones.

   For more information, see Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.2 Installation Guide.

3. Plan your Solaris 10 zones support environment.

   For more information, see Planning Your Configuration to Support Solaris Zones.

4. Create your Solaris 10 non-global zones.

   • If you want to manage your non-global zones as physical hosts, create zone hosts. For more information, see Creating Zone Hosts.

   • If you want to manage your non-global zones as SAP resources, create zone resources. For more information, see Creating Zone Resources in the N1 Service Provisioning System.

5. Manage your Solaris 10 non-global zones in N1 Service Provisioning System or the N1 Advanced Architecture browser user interface.
