Managing Zone Hosts

After you create zone hosts, you can perform the following management tasks through the N1 Service Provisioning System.

• View information about the zone hosts in your environment.

  For more information, see Viewing Zone Host Information in the N1 Advanced Architecture.

• Start a non-global zone.

  For more information, see How to Start a Non-Global Zone on a Physical Host.

• Stop a non-global zone.

  For more information, see How to Stop a Non-Global Zone on a Physical Host.

• Delete a non-global zone from a physical host.

  For more information, see How to Delete a Non-Global Zone From a Physical Host in the N1 Service Provisioning System or How to Delete a Non-Global Zone in the N1 Advanced Architecture.

• Delete a non-global zone from your N1 SPS environment without deleting the non-global zone from the physical host.

  For more information, see How to Delete a Non-Global Zone From the N1 SPS Environment.

Viewing Zone Host Information in the N1 Advanced Architecture

The Physical Hosts table in the N1 AA – Customizing page now includes information about the presence of non-global zones on the physical hosts in your environment. The table now includes a Local Zone column that indicates if a non-global zone is installed on the physical host.

Figure 3–2 Physical Hosts Table of N1 AA – Customizing Page

You can access the Physical Hosts table by clicking on the Administration arrow in the left panel of the N1 AA web console, then clicking on the Customizing link.

For more information, see Physical Hosts in Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions 5.2.1 User’s Guide.

Next Steps

To completely delete the non-global zone from the operating system, you must delete the non-global zone with the zonecfg delete command. For more information, see the zonecfg(1M) man page.

If you are using the N1 Advanced Architecture to manage your zone hosts, you must manually delete the zone host from your N1 AA environment after you delete the zone host in N1 SPS. For more information, see How to Delete a Non-Global Zone in the N1 Advanced Architecture.

How to Delete a Non-Global Zone in the N1 Advanced Architecture

This procedure explains how to delete a non-global zone host from your N1 AA environment.

This procedure does not delete a non-global zone from the N1 Service Provisioning System or the operating system.

1. In the N1 AA web console, click the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions link in the Systems section.

   The Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions page is displayed.

2. In the left navigation pane, click the arrow next to the Administration section.

   The Administration section is expanded.

3. Click the Customizing link.

   The N1AA - Customizing page is displayed.

4. Click the Physical Hosts link the top of the N1AA - Customizing page.

5. Click the radio button for the physical host entry on which you want to delete the non-global zone.

6. Click the Delete button.

7. If prompted, confirm the deletion by clicking the OK button in the confirmation pop-up window.

   The non-global zone host is removed from the Physical Hosts table. The non-global zone host is not deleted from the N1 Service Provisioning System, and it is not deleted from the operating system.

Next Steps

If you want to delete the non-global zone host from the N1 Service Provisioning System, but leave the non-global zone intact on the operating system, see How to Delete a Non-Global Zone From the N1 SPS Environment.

If you want to delete the non-global zone host from both the N1 Service Provisioning System and the operating system, see How to Delete a Non-Global Zone From a Physical Host in the N1 Service Provisioning System.

How to Delete a Non-Global Zone From the N1 SPS Environment

You can use the SAP plug-in to remove a non-global zone from your N1 SPS environment, without affecting the status of the non-global zone on the physical host. Follow these steps.

1. In the Common Tasks section in the browser interface, click SAP.

2. Click the Solaris Non-Global Zone as a Physical Host: Detach link.

   The Plan Details page is displayed.

3. Click Run.

   The Plan Details Run page is displayed.
