How to Define a Host as a Global Zone

A global zone is a host on which individual zones are defined. Before you can create any local zones, you must have at least one host defined to be in the host set com.sun.solaris#global_zones. This task explains how to define a host as a global zone.

Steps

1. In the left control panel, under the Hosts Setup section, click Hosts.

2. Designate the host system by choosing one of the following options:

   • User provided Solaris 10 host.

     1. Type a Solaris 10 host name in the Host field.

     2. Click Create.

   • Solaris 10 host from the host table.

     1. Select a Solaris 10 host from the host table.

     2. Click Edit.

3. Choose com.sun.solaris#global_zone from the host type menu.

4. Modify values for any attributes as needed.

   For example, you might want to change the connection type from RAW (the default) to SSH or SSL.
