Preparing Your Systems for Zones Support in N1 Service Provisioning System and N1 Advanced Architecture

Before you can create a non-global zone in your N1 SPS environment, the name of the non-global zone must be a resolvable name, paired with an IP address, on both the N1 SPS master server and the target host onto which you plan to deploy the non-global zone. You can specify the non-global zone name and IP address in the following locations.

• LDAP server

• NIS name service

• NIS+ name service

• DNS name server

• /etc/hosts file

For more information, see System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) and System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (NIS+).
