Sample Simple Component

The sample plug-in contains the container_util.xml file in the components directory. This file defines the container_util component, which defines several utilities for installing, booting, and managing Solaris containers. The following example creates a simple component with the following elements.

• The path, name, description, and platform attributes to the <component> element provide specific information about the component type.

• The <extends> element indicates that the container_util component extends the features available in the system#directory component type.

• The <varlist> element defines several variables that enable the user to customize components based on this component type.

• The <resourceReflList> element references the container_util resource.

• The <installList> element deploys the container_util resource, and creates a snapshot of the target host after the resource is deployed.
