Create each labeled zone from scratch.
|
Configure, initialize, install, customize, and boot each labeled zone.
|
-
This method is supported, and is useful for creating one or
two additional zones. The zones can be upgraded.
-
This method is time-consuming.
|
Create additional labeled zones from a copy of the first labeled zone.
|
Configure, initialize, install, and customize one zone. Use this zone
as a template for additional labeled zones.
|
-
This method is supported, and is faster than creating zones
from scratch. The zones can be upgraded. Use the Copy Zone method if you want
Sun Support to help you with any zone difficulties.
-
This method uses UFS. UFS does not offer the additional isolation
for zones that Solaris ZFSTM offers.
|
Create additional labeled zones from
a ZFS snapshot of the first labeled zone.
|
Set up a ZFS pool from a partition that you set aside during Solaris installation.
Configure, initialize, install, and customize one zone. Use this zone
as a ZFS snapshot for additional labeled zones.
|
-
This method uses Solaris ZFS, and is the fastest method.
This method makes every zone a file system, and thus provides more isolation
than UFS. ZFS uses much less disk space.
-
If you are testing Trusted Extensions and can reinstall the zones
rather than upgrade, this method might be a good choice. This method can be
useful on systems whose contents are not volatile, because the system can
quickly be reinstalled to a usable state.
-
This method is not supported. Zones that
are created by using this method cannot be upgraded when
a later version of the OS is released.
